Object/Artifact
Cocomalt. Malted Food Drink. 1/2 Pound Net. Made by the R.B. Davis, Company, Hoboken, N.J. No date, circa 1936-1950. Printed (lithographed tin) metal can with removable pry lid, 2-7/8" diameter x 4-3/8" high. Inner seal of parchment paper present but partially opened; the bulk of original powder contents still present. Bottom of can embossed: E7 Inkstamped price on bottom: 29 cents [cent symbol].
"The Trade Mark Cocomalt means a Davis product. Made only by R.B. Davis Company, Hoboken, N.J."
While date as the 1930s, it is probable that this can was from early in the decade as the inner seal is unprinted and paper. Later seals were embossed soft metal and could be used as proofs of purchase for promotional premiums.
