Fairmont Foods was originally
founded as the Fairmont Creamery at Fairmont, Nebraska in
1884. (As stated on back of tin as well).
It was one of the first creameries to give farmers their own
hand cream separators in its early years. The business grew
fast and left Fairmont for Omaha in 1904. In 1929 it was
incorporated and began to diversify its
product lines to include frozen foods, cheese and poultry
products.
Measures approx. 13' tall by 10" in diameter
Such an outstanding tin. The colors are great and bright.
Perfect for an advertising display or a country kitchen
decor. I cannot find another out there. Note on the top of
the
lid it states Strawberries. This size was most likely sent
to a cafe or mercantile. Perhaps they were intended for the
early favorite Soda shops of the era.
This is in very good condition for the age. A small amount
of paint loss here and there. Clean and rust free inside and
out. See photo's to appreciate. I have not cleaned this.
Please see all photos for items condition. Email with any
questions prior to purchase. Thanks for looking.
