Summary
A small tin of cocoa, to hold 4 oz., contents still inside. The tin is a small cylinder, with a small press-on lid. On the top is embossed 'Pure soluble cocoa 4oz - G.J. Van Houten and Zoon - Guaranteed of Weesp - Holland'. A rusty glue line down one side suggests the tin once had a label. The tin is seamed down one side.
