Niemeijer Coffee & Tea Tin — Red with Golden Animal Images 1930s

A characteristic red tin by Theodorus Niemeijer N.V. from Groningen, one of the oldest tobacco and coffee companies in the Netherlands (founded in 1819). This tin was used for coffee or tea and is decorated with gold-colored images of exotic animals — including a parrot, elephant, and tiger — and also features an image of Mickey Mouse, dating it to the late 1920s or 1930s. During that period, such tins were sometimes supplied with small aluminum toy figures of the animals depicted, making them particularly popular with collectors.
