Vintage metal paint can opener advertising piece from John H. Witte & Sons, a long-established hardware and paint supply company based in St. Louis, Missouri.
This solid metal tool features a classic loop handle with a flat pry tip designed for opening paint cans. The company name is clearly stamped on the handle, making this a great example of early to mid-20th-century hardware store advertising. These were typically distributed to painters, contractors, and customers and were built to last.
The piece shows honest age-appropriate wear consistent with use and storage over time, adding to its vintage character. No cracks or repairs observed.
A great addition for collectors of: • Vintage hardware tools • Paint & trade advertising • St. Louis / Midwest memorabilia • Industrial & utilitarian antiques
