The Van Nelle's created a rich history as producers of tobacco, cigarettes, coffee and tea. Starting in 1782, a husband and wife team, Johannes and Hendrica van Nelle, opened a shop in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The company grew and remained family-owned until 1954, when Van Nelle became a public limited company. In 1977, American Standard Brands acquired all shares of Van Nelle. Later, in 1989, Van Nelle was acquired by Sara Lee/Douwe Egberts, which closed all production facilities. One of the pictures on the lid of this tin, is of their world-famous Van Nelle Factory, designed by J.A. Brinkman and L.C. van der Vlugt, it is considered an architectural masterpiece, built in 1927 and completed in 1929.
