Vintage French Breakfast Drink Tin Box, “Caogenol”,

Girl, Doll and Cat

This vintage French tin box was made to contain a breakfast beverage known as “Caogenol” and was made by the Etablissements Caogenol from a recipe belonging to Monsieur Reboul. All sides and the lid have inscriptions and one side is adorned with the images of a little girl and her doll, a cat, a tea pot and a bowl. The tin shows significant signs of wear, as well as dents and rust from age and use. The lid has two cracks. Despite these marks of time, this box will be a charming and authentic “French” element for your home décor or your tin box collection! Please refer to the detailed photos on this page.
