Description

You're bidding on a very rare (in any condition) WAMPUM coffee tin, with beautiful graphics.  The central figure is an Indian maiden wearing a necklace of animal teeth, with bear claws.  She is partially undraped, and in her hands is a long strip of leather or cloth with beadwork.    The coffee was made by Stone-Ordean-Wells Company, Duluth, Minn.  The can is about 9 1/2" tall and about 5 1/2" in diameter.  there is wear (one side is nicer for display; the other has some  missing paint near the girl's neck area).   No rust, except on the bottom of the tin, where corrosion can be seen.   I can't remove the slide top of the can.  I see two very shallow dents at the very bottom of the can which can be felt more than seen.       I'm no expert on these.  I'll tell you what I know and give my assessment as to condition, bearing in mind that most tins are old and were used.   I have not cleaned this up; it is in as-found condition.  I believe it will brighten up even more with whatever collectors use to clean their tins.   Thanks for looking.  Any questions?  email me!
