Description :

A vintage Lorillard’s Redicut Tobacco tin featuring bold early 20th‑century advertising graphics. The front panel depicts two hands handling a block of tobacco — one holding the branded package, the other breaking off a piece — with the slogan “Just Break Off a Piece to Fit” prominently displayed. The tin is finished in a muted red and cream palette with black lettering, and shows signs of age including surface rust and wear consistent with use. Fitted with a metal bail handle and lid, the container retains its original form and visual impact. A compelling piece of tobacco ephemera for collectors of advertising tins and Americana.




Dimensions : 8 in W x 7.5 in H x 3.5 in D
