The T. A. Snider company of Cincinnati.

Anybody have a good history on this company; specifically, how late they operated? I can only find bits and pieces on the 'Net so far.

Snider Preserve Co. in 1884.The firm became the New York Canners after a move to Albion,New York, in 1923, renamed itself the Snider Packing Co. in 1928, and was absorbed into the Birdseye Division of General Foods in 1943.

Basically, I dug up a heavy metal cap marked "?HE T. A. SNID?R ?R??ER?E Co. Cinncinati." Chimed in like silver, but clearly isn't. This gives me an idea of the time period. The center of the cap is marked "CHILU?E"; probably not strictly important, but I'm curious what the stuff was. Thanks.
