Pair Vintage Spice Tins Radio Brand McKnight Keaton Grocery Sikeston MO Cairo IL

Description

This is a brand of spices that must have had a very local or regional distribution in the Illinois, Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee area.  The company seems to have come into existence in the 1920's and possibly lasted until the 1950's from what I can find.  The tins show distribution from the McKnight Keaton Grocery located in Sikeston, MO, and Cairo, IL. Both of these boxes are not actually metal but cardboard and each is marked 15 cents.  The Allspice has stains on it and the turmeric shows some aging as well.  Both would be a great addition to a collection due to the fact that not many folks have this brand in their collections. Photos show all six surfaces of the spice tins.
We have listed other such vintage tins that we have decided to let someone else enjoy, and we are happy to combine purchases to try to save buyers some money on shipping.

Notes on shipping
: While we wish we could provide free shipping, at these prices we simply cannot. We use USPS Priority Mail because the rates are competitive, and insurance is included in the rates. Further, on the rare occasion when we have had damage during shipment, USPS has been very good to work with, both for us and our customers. Plus, please know that we
NEVER
charge more than what eBay calculates the actual shipping costs will be from our zip code to yours, and we never add handling charges but instead absorb the costs of shipping materials, rather than passing those costs along to our buyers.
