Up for sale is a rare and remarkable piece of Americana: an original, factory-sealed 1 lb vintage tin of Folger's Drip Grind Coffee (Golden Gate Brand).
What it is: A classic 1-pound steel metal can featuring vibrant red, yellow, and cream lithographed graphics, showcasing the iconic ship logo on the front and California golden poppies on the side. It retains its original bottom-mounted key-wind opener and remains factory sealed.
Manufacture Date: Copyrighted and manufactured around 1931 by J.A. Folger & Co. (Kansas City, San Francisco, Houston).
Purpose: Originally packaged as a vacuum-packed consumer coffee product for daily household use, this historic container is now prized by collectors of vintage advertising, general store displays, and kitchenalia. Note: Sold strictly as a vintage collectible display piece, not for consumption.
The tin shows honest, age-appropriate vintage patina with minor surface wear, but preserves its structural integrity and historical charm exceptionally well.
