Vintage CO-OP Homogenized Peanut Butter Tin – 48 oz – Saskatoon Distributor

A terrific piece of Canadian CO-OP grocery advertising, with especially nice Saskatchewan interest.

This vintage 48 oz. CO-OP Homogenized Peanut Butter tin features bright hot-pink graphics, two cartoon monkeys, bilingual English/French labeling and the classic CO-OP shield logo.

The side panel is particularly appealing because it identifies the distributor as Interprovincial Co-operatives Limited, Saskatoon, Canada, along with other Canadian cities. That local connection makes it more interesting than a generic food tin for Saskatchewan collectors.

Condition

Good vintage condition with strong display appeal.

The pink graphics remain bright and vivid, and both cartoon monkeys display very well. There is expected surface wear, small scratches, minor marks and edge oxidation around the top and bottom rims.

The original lid is present and shows typical age-related wear. Interior appears quite clean overall.

Please review all photos closely as they form part of the condition description.
