Glidden acquired Durkee's in 1929 and eventually moved production, so Elmhurst-labeled Glidden-era pieces represent a specific slice of the brand's history. All three tins matching in color, label style, and era makes this a stronger display set than single tins typically are. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIf you collect vintage kitchen advertising tins or want something for a farmhouse kitchen display that has real age behind it, this set is worth a close look.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping + Trust (Reading Vintage standards)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e∙Photo-verified condition (\u003ca title=\"shipping policy\" href=\"https:\/\/myreadingvintage.com\/pages\/shipping-policy\"\u003eno surprises\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e∙Packed with our protective packaging standard\u003cbr\u003e∙Ships in 1 business day\u003cbr\u003e∙Free Shipping on $35+ (U.S. only)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDisclaimer\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll items are vintage and may show signs of age, wear, or use consistent with their history.
