Rare assortment of antique birch with tin spice containers. c:1858. All have circular incised mark: Patent Packaging Corp. Newark, New Jersey, Pat. Aug. 31, 1858. Two larger containers, (flour & sugar?) and 6 smaller spice containers. Four fit into the large container; and other two fit into other container. The largest is 7.5 wide x 4.5 tall; next is 6.5 wide x 4 tall; smaller ones are 3.25 wide x a bit over 3.25 tall. The pepper container is a bit larger than the other 4 small containers. Cloves, Pepper, Allspice, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Mustard. These should only be used for display due to their age and fragility. Good display condition; just the lid on larger container has shrunk a bit from age, and is a bit loose. You can scour the net and you probably won't find any of these anywhere else. Beautiful items for a country kitchen! These are shown in some of the books on antiques. 3/8-cc-V-dmau
