Girl Scouts & Nut Sales
Putting a date on those old, vintage Girl Scout nut tins can be a challenge. Maybe this page can help.
The mid- 1950's though the 1970's seemed to be the "hey-day" for tins with the Girl Scout logo on them. Mostly they were metal printed tins, but sometimes paper labels were used. Planters & Fisher's Peanuts were late comers and didn't seem to last too long.
There were 4 companies involved with nut sales:
-
Peanut Corporation of America
-
Peanut Products Company (simply the new name for Peanut Corporation of America)
-
Lummis & Co.
-
Planters
-
