Dupont Smokeless Black Powder Tin
Description
Dupont Smokeless Black Powder tin, featuring the original can with a black-painted body, stamped lid, and visible yellow factory markings including ‘Lot 330’. The can height measures approximately 8.25 inches. The lid prominently features the ‘Dupont’ logo and is fitted with a central metal cap for secure sealing. A partially intact paper shipping label is affixed to the exterior, addressed to a Riley’s Supply Company, Avilla, Indiana. The container has a ribbed design and is constructed of metal, indicative of the period’s standard for black powder containers intended for safe storage and handling.
CONDITION: The tin shows moderate handling wear, consistent with age and storage. The black-painted exterior exhibits areas of scuffing, scratching, and surface abrasions. The paper shipping label is partially torn with some loss, but text remains largely legible. The metal cap and lid show wear but appear intact. No visible punctures or structural dents in the body of the tin were observed. Please note this item cannot be shipped and is for local pickup only due to hazmat restrictions.
