Original White Rose Tea Balls advertising tin featuring classic navy blue and gold lithography with period typography and original lid artwork reading “Double Strength – Double Flavor.”
This tin was used for Orange Pekoe tea balls and distributed by Seeman Brothers of New York, a well-known early 20th-century tea wholesaler. The bold branding, gold accents, and utilitarian form make this a standout piece of American grocery-store advertising history.
The tin retains its authentic surface wear, patina, and age-appropriate scuffs—exactly what serious collectors look for. A fantastic display piece for kitchens, coffee bars, retail décor, or advertising collections.
