Description
Large vintage Verkade shop tin for rusk. This large rectangular tin for the store has a sloping lid, with the original brown knob. The tin is black and yellow, with a green decoration and lettering. On the sides the old logo of the Verkade factories, namely with rider-herald on horseback.
This shopping drum has an elongated rectangular shape. The top is closed for 1/3 and 2/3 sloping towards the front. This angled part is hinged and is the lid. The tin has a circular band at the bottom consisting of a drawing of green-cream rods between which an elongated black surface, the top of which is rounded. The ground colour of the can is yellow. Six lanes of cream-coloured curls run across this yellow. These jobs are located on all sides except the front. Both the front and the back have identical text consisting of black letters with green outlines. On all sides, sometimes different in size, the Verkade logo, a circle with text including a herald on horseback.
Although cherished today, these tins were not always treated gently in earlier times. This shop tin is a beautiful item that can be used for decoration in the living room, or even better for decoration and use in the kitchen for storing rolls of rusk, among other things.

Verkade was founded on May 2, 1886. Ericus Gerhardus Verkade opened his Steam, Bread and Rusk factory "De Ruyter". The name "De Ruyter" was chosen with a bow to the past; the first flour mill of West Zaandam carried that name. The products of the first hour were; bread, rusk, honey gingerbread and Langetjes, later also came the famous tea lights. "De Ruyter" (horseman or rider) is still recognizable in the logo of the Verkade brand. In the course of time Verkade switched over to make cookies and chocolate.
Verkade. The most beautiful brand in the Netherlands.
There is hardly any brand that is more Dutch. With the tastiest cookies and chocolate in the world.
Verkade biscuit tins can be found in cupboards or on table all over the Netherlands.
