Morey Mills Counter Spice Tin, Denver, CO. Circa 1900

Here is a beautiful tin spice bin from the Morey Mills Coffee Company which was based in Denver, Colorado in the early 1900’s when this bin was made. This particular bin would have been placed in a smaller general store where customers would scoop out the amount of spices they wanted when making their purchase. Spice bins are generally smaller in size than coffee and tea bins due to less product as needed, and this is the case with this 11 inch wide bin.
