Accurate Description of Item
Uncle Sam’s Coffee -The American Tea & Spice Co. Philadelphia, PA
Appraiser Remarks
When there is no information to be found regarding a collectible item, it generally raises a red flag as to authenticity and vintage. Based on what I can see this is most likely a promotional item made on the run up to the American Bicentennial in 1976, such items were made in very large numbers as novelties, many of them discarded over time or ended up in basements or garages to store items. No big vakue , most tins like this tend to sell for under $20.00.
Estimated Value
$10.00- $20.00
