Can - Metal - Rare De Jong’s Cacao Tin
Early 20th century Dutch advertising tin for De Jong’s Cacao, produced in Wormerveer (Holland), a historic center of cocoa processing.
Beautiful multi-panel lithography featuring:
traditional Dutch windmill landscape
factory view “Cacaofabriek De Zaanstroom (1906)”
iconic serving lady motif
original lid with factory mark
Inside the lid, the original French guarantee label is preserved, referencing Vienna (“Vienne”) and reflecting export to the imperial market of Central Europe within the Austro-Hungarian Empire:
“Nous ne garantissons la qualité supérieure de notre cacao, tant que le plombage est intact.”
(We guarantee the superior quality of our cocoa only as long as the seal remains intact.)
Authentic untouched condition with strong patina, wear and corrosion consistent with age — highly decorative and collectible, with strong historical character.
Condition: original, unrestored, visible wear (see photos)
Origin: Netherlands (Wormerveer)
Export context: Vienna / Imperial Central European market
Date: circa 1900
