Chef Oysters One Gallon Oyster Can

Baltimore, Maryland, early 20th century, one gallon tin can with lid.

Height 7.5 in.

Operating during the city’s oyster industry boom, the company produced large lithographed tin cans for shipping and retail sale, distributing Chesapeake Bay oysters regionally and nationally.

Surface rust, a small dent to the right side of the chef's face.
