I picked up another early Towle's Log Cabin Syrup tin. Not sure of the date of this one , but I am guessing the 1910-1920 era. I liked the cartoons on three on the four sides of this can. It is much smaller than my other Log Cabin tin measuring at 3 1/2" x 3 3/4".

Wow....If you are on a quest, I just saw a similar tin in San Jose at http://www.antiquescolony.com. I posted a picture in "Show & Tell" earlier today of the Hungarian baby bathtub we bought which sat 10' north of the booth with the tin. It looked to be in excellant condition, and at least similar in size to the tin pictured here. Ask for Cleo, and tell her it's the booth just south of hers with all the kitchen collectibles.
Happy hunting....SLO
Thanks for the info!
