Every kitchen needs a rising star!

{HISTORY}

This large vintage Red Star tin came to life in the1960's serving as a double-acting baking powder container for the commercial baking industry.  Part of the Universal Foods Corporation, based in Milwaukee, WI the Red Star product line first began in the late 1800's as part of a whiskey distillery business. Through a series of name changes, acquisitions and product associations Red Star emerged as a dominant baking brand by the 1950's and continues to be part of the market today.

{STYLE IDEA}

It's large 10lb size means it has the ability to hold onto lots of bigger kitchen items - like long-handled utensils or fresh baguettes, dry noodles or large quantities of baking staples (like flour, sugar or dare we say, baking powder?!). 

With its tight fitting lid, it also makes for an awesome storage container for things like wood chips or kitchen rags, pet food or candles, coffee beans or ... you get the idea!
