This is a 5 lb Coffee Can on the front it says: M.K. (Milk Kettle) Coffee Schwabacher Bros. & Co Seattle On the back it reads; "Five Pounds Net weight, M.K (Milk Kettle) Coffee is packed in a kettle with the idea of placing Coffee in the hands of consumers in best possible condition. The package - which furnishes brand name - is more costly than the ordinary can and has a virtue aside from its use as a coffee container, no doubt apparent - particularly to house keepers. RULES FOR MAKING COFFEE: Take dry coffee, quantity desired, add boiling water, boil water and coffee five minutes, settle by adding a dash of cold water. Serve immediately with cream." In small letters it says St. Louis Tin and Sheet metal Working Co. The tin is in good condition with some minor rust and a few small dents. The lid looks like it may be missing a small handle. The lettering is all very readable. Measures approximately 11 1/2 by 7 1/2 inches
