Quick Loader, Excellent Antique American Can Co. Dusting Powder Squeeze Tin brutalist bear 6 7/8" t x 2This one is all about the combination of form and graphics and language for me a proud quick loader, ready to squeeze and release! Made by the American Can Co. for dusting powder used for cleaning rifles I believe, with great lettering and what looks like an eye at the center of the label, which marks the spot to press it. Late 19th century. 4 1 2" l x 2 3 4" in diameter x 1 1 8". Good condition, sound and sturdy, with general wear and scattered light
