1950's Vintage Blue Magic Krsipy Red Metal Cracker Cookie Tin

This vintage cracker storage tin is an interesting piece of history. This red Krispy Kan cracker tin from Luge Manufacturing features a glass knob filled with blue "magic" crystals that could be heated following the instructions on the lid and placed on the can to absorb moisture to keep your crackers, cookies etc fresh and crisp. The tin design is copyrighted 1946 and thos is likely an example from the 1950s. it has age appropriate wear, dents and rusting. It is being sold as a vintage decor item. I did not test the item to see if the material in the lid turned blue when heated. This tin measures approximately 12"H x 10 diameter. A fun piece of trivia is a tin like this one appeared in one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. It can be seen sitting on Edith Bunker's kitchen counter in All in the Family during several episodes!
