fleur de glorie talcum puff can

[fordbronco95]

Hello all, I'm new to the hunting thing. I found a can that says fleur de glorie at the top and the talcum puff co. at the bottom. The can is about the size of a chew can. I found only one site on the net and it was from the civil war. Any help would be great. Thanx J.Orock

The Civil War may be a stretch. I found a few examples of cans similar to yours, all with pictures of a nude in an art nouveau style. I was unable to determine an exact date, but 1920's-40's. The same product, in different packaging, can be found at the following link.

A nice relic, regardless.

Hey Ford, I found a similar one and my research showed it as between 1910 and 1920. Can't remember where I found that out, because it was a while ago. Still a very nice and interesting find...Congrats...Lance

Yeah, the art on it is very consistent with the turn of the century or thereabouts. My guess would also be 1918 -25
