Description

This distinctive Partridge Pure Lard tin, standing at 14.25 inches tall, is a remarkable survivor from the early 20th century. Produced by the H.H. Meyer Packing Co. in Cincinnati, it features elaborate gothic lettering and a charming partridge bird illustration set against a deep blue backdrop. 

A unique historical feature of this tin is the phrase "Old Checks," which has been etched or burned into its lid, suggesting a secondary use as a storage container for financial records after its original purpose was fulfilled. This artifact bears evidence of its age and utility with faded graphics and surface wear, including rust and minor dents, which enhance its authentic antique character. This tin is an intriguing piece for collectors interested in the multifunctional reuse of everyday objects throughout history.
