This is an old and empty J.R. Watkins Free Trial Size Lemon Dessert tin. There is some rust and minor marks on the paper label.  Overall, the tin is in good condition for its age (1930’s/1940’s).  This is a wonderful addition to any J.R. Watkins or old tin collection.

The J.R. Watkins Company was founded in 1868 and today continues to sell household products (home and health remedies as well as baking products).  Many people still remember the Watkins man who came door to door in a horse-drawn wagon traveling around the countryside many decades ago.

Size: approximately 2 ½” (L), 2 ½” (W), 3” (H)

Vintage items do have a history and can show signs of aging with minor flaws or imperfections (that is actually what makes them so unique and great!). I do my absolute best to accurately describe the items including any imperfections that I see.  If you need additional photos, let me know - I will be glad to provide you with additional ones. Please contact me if you have questions regarding the item.  Note that each item is very carefully wrapped for shipping (using tissue paper, bubble wrap and 100% biodegradable peanuts in sturdy boxes). Due to the vintage nature of the items in April's Attic Shop, all items are sold as is and all sales are final (with no warranties, guarantees or cancellations).
