Description:

The Binney & Smith Co. "An-Du-Septic Dustless Crayon" advertising tin is a highly collectible piece of early-to-mid 20th-century Americana. Despite the word "crayon" on the packaging, this item was originally designed to hold a gross (144 sticks) of dustless blackboard chalk, which famously won a Gold Medal at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. These metal containers typically feature beautiful lithographed graphics, the iconic Gold Medal logo, and cross-advertising for other Binney & Smith products like Crayola Crayons and Artista Water Colors.
