Description:

The American Snuff Company is the second largest smokeless tobacco manufacturer in the US. The company (under a different name originally) started back in 1782, making it the oldest continuous consumer trade lineages in American history. : These jars were part of "jelly glass" style utility marketing. Once the finely ground tobacco was finished, the wide-mouth glass container was intentionally sized and styled to be washed and reused as a household drinking glass.
