Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:50096203 | Original/Reproduction: Original |
Very Rare and original, ca1906 Tin Lithograph Countertop Display Tin for "Clark's Teaberry Pepsin Chewing Gum" manufactured by the D. L. Clark Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
This wonderful Tin Litho Advertising Tin measures approx. 6 3/4” by 5 1/8” by 2 1/4" and features an image of packages of Clark's Teaberry Pepsin Chewing Gum on the front and rear panels as well as on the beautiful, inner surface of the lid. The outer surface of the lid feature...s a "teaberry" spring with text that reads "Teaberry Pepsin Chewing Gum / Made Only By The D. L. Clark Co. / Pittsburgh, U.S.A.". The Tin carries the mark of the manufacturer - The American Can Company - and the 1906 Food and Drug Act date.
This wonderful Tin originally held 40 packs of Clark's Teaberry Pepsin Chewing Gum and was made for display on the countertop of a General Store or Candy Store where customers could purchase individual Packs for 5 cents.
Clark's Teaberry is a brand of chewing gum for which the D. L. Clark Company of Pittsburgh purchased the patent from Charles Burke, who experimented with various flavors of chewing gum in the basement of 533 McClintock Ave, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Teaberry is currently marketed by Clark Gum Company in Buffalo, New York, and made in Mexico. The gum was first manufactured around 1900. The gum's flavor recalls that of the Gaultheria procumbens (eastern teaberry), from which it derives its name. The gum is pink in color, individually wrapped in white paper, and wrapped again in a pink teaberry-printed paper. It is still manufactured to this day.
This rare and very attractive, Clark's Teaberry Chewing Gum Advertising Tin is in very good condition - the colors are bright and vibrant and there are no significant areas of wear, loss or damage to the lithograph surface. There are some scattered tiny surface blemishes and some surface soiling as can be seen in the scans below (the tin should clean up somewhat). Overall the Tin is well preserved and displays beautifully.
A rare and very attractive, ca1906 Tin Lithograph Advertising Countertop Display Tin for "Clark's Teaberry Pepsin Gum" and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!!Overseas shipping is extra and cost will be quoted at bidders request. Massachusetts residents must add 6.25% sales tax. Please check out other early and interesting items offered by this seller on ebay.

Important Notes about Shipping Charges: The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a $1.00 "packing fee" - the $1.00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the $1.00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
