Description

This charming vintage tin once contained Cocomalt, a popular chocolate-flavored food drink from the mid-20th century. Standing at only 3.5 inches tall, this compact container features an intriguing design with bold lettering and a simple color palette that highlights the product's nutritional benefits. Made by the R.B. Davis Company in Hoboken, New Jersey, the tin boasts promotional messages targeted at physicians, highlighting its health benefits, including doubling the caloric value of milk and boosting essential minerals.

 The tin also has a unique side handle, suggesting it may have been used to measure or serve the Cocomalt mixture. Despite its age, the tin's graphics are still visible, though it shows signs of wear such as rust and fading. This piece would be an excellent addition to a collection of vintage food and beverage containers, offering a glimpse into the nutritional trends and marketing strategies of the past.
