This Antique Tin Container by J. S. FRY & SONS once contained that magical mixture of cocoa powder that was loved around the world! The tin is in beautiful condition, no colour, no wall markings. The bottom is tin-embossed with "Fry's Cocoa, BRITISH EMPIRE PRODUCTS, CANADA." The top is removable, in gold-colour, and tin-embossed with "Fry's Breakfast Cocoa, MAKERS TO H.M. THE KING". Overall a wonderful working-class person-cave container. Made in Canada.
