Description

This distinctive Pearl Brand Pure Lard tin from the early 20th century exemplifies classic American packaging design. At 12 inches tall, this smaller variant once held 25 lbs of pure lard, a staple in American kitchens. The vibrant orange and tan graphics are eye-catching, featuring the Pearl Packing Co. name from Madison, Indiana. 

This tin also bears the mark of approval from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, signifying its compliance with early food safety regulations. Though it shows signs of wear such as chipping paint and rust around the lid, these elements underscore its authenticity and historical value. A delightful find for collectors of antique advertising or those fascinated by the history of food marketing.
