The pictures show views of Old Painted Metal Nut Chopper With Advertising Tin Can in this lot. Shown is two sides of the can with the chopper, the inside and bottom of the can, and the inside of the chopper. The year that this nut chopper and can were made are unknown but they are both old. The chopper may have come as a premium with the can of walnuts. It fits well on the top of this can that it was found with. The chopper has a red and yellow outside and a gold and silver inside. There are no markings. You would hold the can upside down and turn the key to chop up the nuts through a grate in the chopper. It turns well. It appears to be in very good condition with some paint wear on the outside. The tin can has a colorful lithographed label. It is in black, green, light green, gold, red, and white. The can pictures walnuts in front of a cut emerald. There is a little advertising on the side and the rest is marked as follows: CALIFORNIA EMERALD BRAND SHELLED WALNUTS VACUUM PACKED NET WEIGHT 4 OZS. PACKED BY CALIFORNIA WALNUT GROWERS ASSOCIATION LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA To judge the sizes the two together (as pictured) measure 4-1/2'' tall. The can section is in excellent condition with only very light wear and some surface rusting on the bottom piece as pictured. The chopper is as mentioned above. |
