Item Description
4.5x9.5x2.5" tall hinged tin box. c. 1910. Outside box images show Dutch windmills/sailboats on all sides. Paint loss on all edges. Surface dust and fading. Outer box VF. Inside lid has bright, colorful illustration of man reaching over brick wall to grab a pack of gum. Wonderful, bright, vibrant illustration. Inside lid illustration Exc. Tin comes with 15 unopened packs of Zeno gum. Three flavors/5 of each. Interesting to note text on sides of gum packs. First is "Zeno Pepsin Chewing Gum/We Guarantee The Pepsin Gum In Our Wrappers To Contain One Grain Of Armour's Pure Pepsin." Second is "Zeno Vanilla Cream/'Smooth As Cream' Delicious, Fragrant And Lasting Flavor." Last is "Zeno Licorice/Forbidden Fruit Chewing Gum/Each Stick Of This Delicious Confection Contains One Grain Of Genuine Youth-Renewing, Health Preserving Elixir Of Life." While the tin is original/vintage, we have discovered the gum packs are reproductions, the labels are nicely done color copies around recent gum sticks. Still nice for display but not original. Opening bid has been lowered to reflect this.
