Black Powder Tin, Lithographed Label "Sporting Powder", body Japanned, circa 1860-1880
$95.00
Lovers of Antique Advertising Tins and historical, percussion arms and tins, take a look at this interesting piece.
The tin appears to me to have been japanned. There is a faint printed design identifying what would have been the contents as "Sporting Powder". The words are framed by a wreath of leaves. The tin is currently empty. The seams are solid and intact. It retains the original screw cap, but the threads no longer engage, and it can be easily lost or removed. It retains about 70% of its original japanning and the design is faint but readable. This is sold as a collector's tin, not intended for use. The tin stands approx. 4 1/4 inches tall, is approx. 3 1/4 inches wide and 1 inch deep. Please refer to photos for full perspective.
I found similar japanned tins with similar designs referenced in the book "Gun Powder Cans and Kegs" by Ted and David Bacyk and Tom Rowe. There is one example from the Hazzard Powder Co on pg. 158 and two from Ohio Powder Mills on pgs. 180 and 191. However, without a company identifier on the tin itself, the origin of this piece is lost to time.
