Vintage 1959 Fireside Egg Coffee Tin 1 Lb Key Wind Litho Advertising Can ChicagoA phenomenal, incredibly scarce piece of mid-century American advertising history! This is an authentic 1959 Fireside Egg Coffee 1 lb lithographed tin can. Introduced during a short-lived regional product launch out of Chicago in the late 1950s, this unique brand automated the traditional Scandinavian \"church basement\" method of incorporating real egg into coffee grounds to clarify the blend and cut bitterness.The tin features eye-catching, highly displayable retro graphics in bold crimson red, bright yellow, and cream white. The bottom base still retains its original 1959 blue ink grocery stamp marking it at 79ยข. A spectacular, conversational centerpiece addition for advanced vintage coffee tin collections, country general store displays, or retro kitchen racks.Condition:
Great vintage pre-owned condition! The lithographed body retains great color contrast and bold lettering. The metal shows authentic, age-appropriate surface scuffs, light localized tiny scratch lines, and minor perimeter edge tarnish/oxidation appropriate for a 60+ year old food tin. The bottom is structurally solid with no rust-through pinholes, and the original key-wind rim structure is visible. Lid sits securely. Please review all photos for precise cosmetic details.
