Bold red, old-fashioned A&P lettering, a key wind lid — America's largest grocery chain, in a can.

  • Maker: A&P (Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Co)
  • Materials: Metal tin, key wind lid
  • Dimensions: 5.0" diameter, 3.5" tall
  • Origin: New York, USA
  • Era: Vintage, 1950s
  • Condition: Vintage, used — very good; two minor dents; corrosion on bottom, light rust on bottom edge (photographed); can intact/unopened. Please review photos closely before purchasing, as all sales are final.

This bright red 1-pound coffee can with its key wind lid (a style first introduced around 1917) is a wonderful piece of grocery history. The can is empty — we were unable to open it without risking damage, so it remains intact.

A striking display piece for the advertising collectibles collector or anyone drawn to mid-century American kitchen history. Increasingly hard to find in intact condition.

The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company — A&P — was once the largest retailer of any kind in the United States, a position it held from 1915 through 1975, before closing for good in 2015.
