✅ SOLVED Small metal tin. Anybody know what it was for?

[Nathan6309]

I was in an old farm field and found this small metal tin. It was originally flattened, but I bent it back into the original shape. It has some writing in black ink and some debossed. I’ve tried searching it up on google, but can’t seem to find anything. Can anybody decipher the writing on this tin and tell me what it would have held?

can’t read what brand but could see “hose supporters”. probably rubber button ones, similar to this:

You've got a lot of advertising information on your find Nathan.
You have a phone number, the price and a description of what was inside the tin.

The only piece of the puzzle that's missing is the name of the maker, which was probably on another part of the tin.
Date wise, I'd think you're looking at the 1920s or 30s.

item was made of rayon rubber and cotton , maybe the lid you found fits this tin ?

Thanks everybody for the ideas. Hopefully this info will get me to an exact ID on this tin.

Looking harder at one of the flattened areas on the side with the price, I see what looks like Colton Elastic.

Found it. It wasnt a tin, but a metal band that wrapped around elastic straps. Thanks everybody for the ideas that brought me to this conclusion and ID!
