Quick Loader, Excellent Antique American Can Co. Dusting Powder Squeeze Tin brutalist bear hand thrown stoneware vase isThis one is all about the combination of form and graphics and language for me a proud quick loader, ready to squeeze and release! Made by the American Can Co. for dusting powder used for cleaning rifles I believe, with great lettering and what looks like an eye at the center of the label, which marks the spot to press it. Late 19th century. 4 1 2" l x 2 3 4" in diameter x 1 1 8". Good condition, sound and sturdy, with general wear and scattered light
