Around 1912 the Tin Decorating Company, aka
Tendeco, produced round colorful tins to hold tobacco for for the
American Tobacco Company. American Tobacco controlled Tindeco, as well
as the four brands of tobacco sold in these tins. Each container
held about 1 lb of tobacco with the brand names Dixie Queen, Mayo, Red
Indian and U.S. Marine. Apparently the company suggested that the tins
be used as brownie containers after the tobacco was used and designed
them accordingly.
