amazing piece of advertising history—an original Lipton's Tea Tin with an rustic patina. If you love that authentic, time-worn farmhouse vibe, this canister is for you!
Details:
Brand: Lipton's Tea
Embossing: "LIPTON'S TEA THE MOST DELICIOUS THE WORLD PRODUCES" on front, "PLANTER CEYLON" on back
Vibe: Perfect natural wear—gives it that true antique character.
Size: Approx. 4.5" wide
I don't see this surface wear as a flaw; it's what makes these tins so visually interesting for kitchen or coffee station displays. It is an empty display piece sold as-is.

Historical Context: These were manufactured as early "working-man's" tins relying on metal stamping rather than colorful painted graphics. Lipton used this specific "Planter Ceylon" legend in its early operations in the United States, placing the manufacturing era for these pieces anywhere from the early 1900s through the 1930s.
