Vintage DuPont Sporting Rifle Powder No. 4759 Tin – 8 oz – Empty Advertising Tin

A genuine vintage DuPont sporting advertising tin for DuPont Sporting Rifle Powder No. 4759, originally sold in an 8-ounce size.

The dark green metal tin features the classic red-and-gold DuPont oval logo on the front, with original instructional and manufacturer labels still present on the sides and back. Manufactured by E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co. of Wilmington, Delaware, it has an excellent old sporting-goods and general-store look.

The age-related staining, worn labels and patina give this one plenty of authentic character for a vintage sporting, hunting or advertising collection.
