    I found this in a house I was remodeling. Is was to thrown out, but I wanted to know more about it. I have searched images on the internet to find no match. The closest match shows a smaller head with the phrase above it.

    I have found that this was an advertisement tin for Paxton & Gallagher Company which started around 1879 to 1882 by Ben Gallagher and William A. Paxton. They launched their Butter-Nut line of foods, which went very well, and especially after 1913 when they began selling Butter-Nut brand Coffee.

    I am having no luck in finding this advertisement to find out the approximate date this tin was made. If it helps, the imprint in the center of the lid is "1305". I would appreciate any help in finding more information about this item.
