Antique Roly Poly Dutchman Mayo's cut plug tin (c 1912)
Antique "Dutchman" tin from the "Mayo's Cut Plus" Brownie series issued in 1912. One of a series of six one-pound tins, this one features a roly poly man holding a large pipe. The graphic on the back is the Mayo's cut plug packaging logo. The verbiage on the bottom reads "THIS BROWNIE TINE COMES IN DIFFERENT DESIGNS. GET A COLLECTION. THIS BRAND OF TOBACCO HAS BEEN BEFORE THE PUBLIC FOR A GREAT NUMBER OF YEARS - IN QUALITY IT HAS NEVER BEEN SURPASSED". Based on the location of the sales pitch, this is not a 1970s Cheinco reproduction.
The tin is in fair vintage condition, with rust spots on all sides and on the bottom. Please see the photos. The head may well be rusted on....we haven't tried to remove it because it sits flat. The price reflects the condition.
Measures: 7" tall x 6" in diameter at the widest part
