The details
Antique John’s Chocolates & Cocoas advertising tin featuring the desirable “Essence of Coffee” Victorian trade label with bold lithographed graphics and strong color. Manufactured by John Packard, Louisville, Mississippi, this pantry tin dates to the late Victorian / early 20th century when decorative product tins doubled as countertop display pieces in general stores and home kitchens. The scalloped square form with domed friction lid adds shelf presence while the untouched surface patina, oxidation around the lid flange, and honest edge wear confirm authentic age collectors prefer over restored examples. Era: c. 1895-1910 Maker: John Packard Manufacturers — Louisville, Mississippi Material: Lithographed tin Condition: Original surface with patina, oxidation, and edge wear consistent with period use
