Have added 2 more pictures to this post, if anyone has any info on Los Angele's Creamery Co, and the aprox. age of this can It would be much appreciated.
The president of the Company was a bit of a scoundrel, look up;
George E. Platt, president of the Los Angeles Creamery
Look for Los Angeles city directories from the era, they are a wealth of info.
In the last day or so, we have found info on the president of the comapany, seems he was shady character to say the least. But, what we are finding also is Los Angele's Creamery pieces are pretty rare to find.
The only thing better than a nice piece like this is a good story to go with it.
Very much so, its time consuming doing the reasearch, but also fun in finding the info!
