Description

Original vintage Calumet Double-Acting Baking Powder advertising tin featuring the company’s distinctive red background, bold cream-and-black CALUMET lettering, and early Native American head trademark.

The cylindrical tin retains its original fitted metal lid and displays wonderful authentic age and patina. Surface wear includes considerable oxidation, paint loss, scratching, discoloration and wear around the lid and lower portion of the can. Despite the wear, the important Calumet lettering and central trademark graphic remain readily recognizable.

A particularly appealing piece of early American grocery and kitchen advertising, ideal for a collection of vintage tins, country-store advertising, baking memorabilia, or primitive kitchen décor.
