Description

This is a vintage Schepp’s Cake Box, used as both an advertising and storage piece, likely dating from the early 20th century. The tin features black-and-white lithograph-style illustrations on the door, with a scene labeled “Lotte” after a painting by Thumann. Inside the door, bold green lettering promotes Schepp’s Cocoanut, emphasizing economy, cleanliness, and quality. The box has a hinged front door with a latch, and the interior shows expected wear from age and use.

Advertising tins like this were originally displayed in general stores and bakeries, serving both practical storage purposes and as eye-catching branding. Collectors today value them for their graphic design, historic ties to early packaged food marketing, and decorative appeal. This piece has strong visual presence and showcases Schepp’s role in the rise of branded food packaging.
