A classic piece of American grocery‑house advertising, this Vintage Chestnut Hill Black Pepper Spice Tin was produced under the Midwood Brand in the United States.

The tin is empty and shows light wear, but retains strong red coloration, clean typography, and solid display presence. As part of the Chestnut Hill / Midwood family—brands often associated with regional and independent grocers—this piece offers both nostalgic charm and historical interest for collectors of vintage food advertising.
Perfect for collectors of:
• Vintage spice tins
