Why don't they make pretty canned good like this anymore?

Agreed! I love it! I purchase a certain coffee that is still available in the metal can that has that vintage look....wonder if that's why I buy it?! ;D Ok, ok, the coffee is good too!

That is a pretty can...worth saving and re-using. Maybe people didn't use to treat these things as diposably as we do now.

We used to drink Chock Full O'Nuts brand coffee, and it had the NYC skyline on the can. We saved an unopened can from 2001 that showed the skyline with the Twin Towers...I'm pretty sure they changed it after 9/11.

It is a shame that they don't make things like that anymore. Especially with the way that everyone tends to reuse items, they would probably sell quite well.

Because....sadly they don't make anything like they used to. And yes, things weren't always so disposable as it is now adays. That is a beautiful coffee can and in such good shape! Love it!
