#3 Tin Can

This is a reproduction of a #3 tin can. It has a soldered on top, with the hole soldered shut, known as the “hole in the top” can. It can be made sealed or with a plug type top so you can store stuff inside. Caution: The lid ring will have a very sharp edge!

It is made to historically correct dimensions (4 1/2” diameter X 5 ” tall).

For a can comparison picture, look at the tin can set page.

Please specify on the order page or email me with the lid preferences, or they will be made soldered completely shut.

Historically the can was filled, then the disc with the pinhole was soldered on, and once the food was processed, the pinhole was soldered shut to seal the can.

I do not provide labels for the cans, but there are a few websites that do. The link below has a great selection of labels.
