The Ann Page tin sports a zip code, but no barcode, so I'm assuming that it's from no later than the mid 60s. "Ann Page" was the name of the A&P's storebrand products. The A&P chain was defunct for awhile, but about a decade ago was reborn as "SuperSaver".
"Ideal" was the Acme Markets storebrands' name. This one has neither a zip code nor barcode on it. With these absences, I'm having a hard dating this item.
Similar to the A&P's plight, Acme Markets closed up shop for a while, but a new, smaller chain of Acmes has been resurrected.
Love the look of these old tins! :)
these are great !!! I have some vintage tin ones from Marshall Fields for tea.
Thank you Katherine…I agree, the design and graphics of such tins is great! And, thank you for the love, too!

Thanks, Sean…no, I don't have any Red Owl ones (yet). But I'm always looking, and I'll let you know when I discover them.
