A beautifully lithographed, oval-form powder tin from E.I. du Pont, featuring a colorful circular label with two golden pheasants in a vibrant woodland setting. The reverse side is stenciled “FFG” within an oval DuPont logo, indicating granulation for rifle or shotgun use. This tin, with its distinctive crackled red lacquered surface, is a fine example of early 20th-century sporting powder marketing and displays wonderfully.
