This 1970s Bristol Ware reproduction of the 1920s original tin was sold filled with Club's Choice Honey Special Mix Peanuts around 1979. The octagonal shape is itself unusual and collectible; the NBC logo on this tin dates to 1923.
A wonderful piece for the advertising collectibles enthusiast, the Nabisco history lover, or anyone who appreciates the deep roots of American brand design. A great conversation starter on any kitchen shelf.
In 1901, the National Biscuit Company hired commercial artist Fredric Stanley to create a little boy in a yellow raincoat holding a box of Uneeda Biscuits — implying moisture-proof packaging, and in doing so, creating one of the first American trademarks.
