Description

This captivating Morrell's Snow Cap Lard tin, dating back to the mid-20th century, stands as a testament to the era's robust American advertising. Measuring 15 inches in height, the tin boasts a refreshing teal and black color scheme with an appealing graphic of snowy mountain peaks, emphasizing the 'Snow Cap' branding. Produced by John Morrell & Co., whose general offices were located in Ottumwa, Iowa, this container originally held 50 pounds of warranted pure lard, promising top quality. 

The tin is marked by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, indicating its compliance with federal standards. Despite visible signs of aging such as scratches, paint loss, and rust, these imperfections add an authentic historical dimension to the tin. It’s an excellent collector's item for enthusiasts of vintage food packaging or a charming rustic decor piece for a modern kitchen or dining area.
