Another potato chip can from the shelf, CHARLES CHIPS this time. Not all that unique I guess, (there are a few similar others already shown here) I believe this one dates to the late 1970's, because it actually did come to me via my 'family home' when growing up about that time.
Unlike the backstories shared from other folks who've shown theirs, I don't actually recall any 'home delivery' aspect to CHARLES CHIPS -- instead, I remember the 'gimmick' being that the chips (which were otherwise pretty typical greasy potato chips in reality, probably) were "made every day at the local store", where customers could bring back their already-purchased can for a refill (at somewhat of a bargain price compared to grocery-store bagged chips) in order to have the "freshest" possible product.
It measures about 9-1/2" high and about 8-1/2" across.
We had them here.
I loved Charles potato chips in the tin, great memory
