A horse-drawn sleigh glides toward a lantern-lit church and snug, fire-warmed homes — a scene straight off a vintage Christmas card, wrapped around a tin.
Olive Can Company was founded in Chicago in 1912 by Michele Armato, an Italian immigrant with a passion for tin-making. His sons later grew the business into a major supplier of promotional tins for brands like Pillsbury and Nestlé, and the Armato family's tin-making legacy continues today through Union Street Tin Co. This one is empty and comes in wonderful condition, with the winter scene on the lid and a bright red body.
Lovely as part of a Christmas decor vignette, or filled with cookies for effortless holiday gifting. Pair with our Meister Horse Drawn Sleigh tin for a coordinated winter scene display.
