This is an antique Columbia Mixture smoking tobacco tin, likely dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. The container is constructed from lithographed tin-plated steel in a rectangular form with a hinged lid and rounded corners. The exterior features a red base color decorated with black, gold, and yellow graphics. The front panel is marked Columbia in black cursive script outlined in yellow, positioned over a gold starburst motif, with the word MIXTURE to the right. The lid displays the brand name Columbia Mixture in an arched arrangement above a central starburst. A side panel bears the text SMOKING TOBACCO. Decorative elements include a scrolling pattern along the lid edges and a vertical vine-and-berry motif on the corners.
