Horatio Nelson Commemorative, Keen's Mustard Advertising Tin, c. 1805 - For Sale

Horatio Nelson Commemorative, Keen's Mustard Advertising Tin, c. 1805
Price: $125.00
This is an octagonal Keen's Mustard tin made in England, which commemorates the death of Lord Horatio Nelson in 1805, 100 years later in 1905. It is now about 110 years old. It is about 5-1/2" high, 7-1/2 x 6. The larger panels are decorated with lithographs that portray historic scenes from Nelson's career. The four short sides illustrate Nelson's military medals: Victoria Cross, Order of the Indian Empire, Victoria and Albert Medal and Distinguished Service Order. There are some scrapes here and there and corrosion on the edges, but the colors are good, a bit darker than they appear in the photos. The ring for the bottom of the lock is missing, but easily replaced if desired. The outer lid opens and closes well, and the hinges are in good shape. There is an inner lid with a handle that is a bit tight, but in good condition. The Keen's Mustard label inside the outer lid is in good shape and shows bright colors with minor soiling. This is an outstanding collectible tin and a great survivor after 110 years.
