Lard Tin

[Lygore]

I found this by an old homestead. It was wedged in a rock wall. Does anyone know how old it is or any info? I think I can read:
"the N K Fairbank co. Lard Compound"
on the front with a boar's head in the middle. I also found a baking powder tin top that was pretty cool and a harmonica part as well as a spur. Thanks for looking!

I googled "nk fairbanks co", and found a lot of info. I like the spur you found. That is one of my goals, to find a spur!

Awesome! Thanks everyone! I'm still trying to find a pristine picture of the bucket, to no avail.
