Things looked a lot cooler back in the old days, that has display quality to it, nowadays nothing really has cool artwork on it like that does.

someone was probably rubbing that stuff on their 'roids :laughing7: . I would agree that it probably dates to the teens.

great item - are you finding lots of well preserved bits-and-bobs(?)
and yes - when dug - most tins are pretty rusty- but there is often a lot of paint beneath the rust - Ive dug some that have cleaned up about that well...
