This collectible advertising coffee tin for Jacobs Kaffee, dating to the 1930s, is designed in the style of a small cabinet or retail showcase, reflecting the design sensibilities of early modernist Germany. Its construction features a rectangular metal body, probably tin-plated, with a single hinged door and a metal handle, alongside two upper mounting brackets for wall display. The warm, matte ivory-white surface, gently yellowed by age, is contrasted by bold, black sans-serif lettering reading 'JACOBS KAFFEE' on both the front and side, with a crisp black border highlighting the geometric Art Deco lines. The central front panel displays the brand’s classic shield logo, encircled by a cog motif in black and yellow, while the side inscription 'Selecter Qualität' is rendered in an elegant cursive script, adding typographic contrast. The surface shows fine scratches, paint wear, and small chips, notably at the door’s edges and bottom corners—these marks of genuine use recall the tin’s life in a busy retail setting. Overall, the tin remains in very good vintage condition; the original patina and traces of wear underscore its historical and collector appeal.The tin gives voice to the interwar years—a period when retail counters and showcases invited stories of everyday indulgence and aspiration. Its sturdy, graphic form speaks to the optimism
