    At a bit over 4" tall the most notable feature of this vintage spice tin is the great graphics. It is actually a paper tin as only the top and bottom are tin.
    The original weight of the product is 3/8ths of an ounce. Most of the original product is still present. There is no smell. It would probably not add much flavor to one's glass of iced tea.
    This was made by Wyler & Company of Chicago Illinois. Unfortunately I have not been able to find information on this.

      Wyler's is still around. They are a division of Borden Foods.

      Wyler’s Facts:

      Silvain Wyler and his wife, Arma, founded the Wyler Company in 1931, and began by importing bouillon from Europe.
      Wyler & Company started with seven employees and one product, the Chicken Bouillon Cube.

      Initially, Wyler & Company imported bouillon products from France.

      Wyler’s® completed a state of the art manufacturing facility in 1965 for its Wyler’s Bouillon and Soup products. It was considered to be the most efficient, high-quality bouillon process in the country.

      In 1967 Wyler’s® developed its first national advertising campaign.

      In the mid 1960s, the Wyler family donated a personal gift of more than $2 million that enabled The University of Chicago to begin construction of the nation’s newest children’s hospital.

      In October 2000, Wyler’s broke the Guinness Record for the World’s Largest Bowl of Soup - 662 Gallons!

      All they make now is Mrs. Grass soup mixes under the Wyler's name..

      Wow - Wyler was an innovator!

      Silvain and Arma Wyler founded the Wyler Company in Chicago in 1931, first importing bouillon cubes from Europe, then pioneering the development of dehydrated food products. Among their major philanthropic achievements was the Silvain and Arma Wyler Children's Hospital, dedicated at University of Chicago in 1966. This collection contains many photographs of the Wylers, as well as smaller amounts of material documenting their personal interests, social activities and philanthropic work.
