Here is a beautiful advertising tin from the C. F. Blanke Coffee and Tea Company based in St. Louis, MO. This tin simply showed the pride that the company and the residents had for the United States shortly after the conclusion of the Spanish American war, and with the troubles brewing in Europe before WW1 started. Many companies incorporated patriotism in their products to help sell their product, but also to support the country in their fight for democracy. This particular tin has a nice wooden handle attached to it as well.
