These nicely COLORED little spice containers each have a great picture of a little owl on them, perched on branch. This was the TRADE MARK of the David Evans Coffee Co in St Louis Missouri, reaching all the way back to the late 1800's. There are even COFFEE JARS and SYRUP FLASKS that have this same trade mark, the Owl on a limb, embossed into the glass, making these items quite collectible today. The spice tins contained a wide variety of spices, and even some teas, but the number of different spices are many. These three are a nice start, check them out!
