This is a real vintage Hershey 5.5 Oz can. According to label and barcode manufactured around 1973.Why are the Hershey 5.5 Oz cans so popular? Hershey starting making syrup in 1926 for commercial use ( ice cream, fountain soda's) . In late 1928 salesman starting selling the small 5.5 oz cans door to door for household use. The 5.0 oz cans are most sought after by collectors.they make great kitchen decorations.
Is this an original salesman sample? No. I have not seen one on ebay unopened yet, the label would say " Hershey Chocolate Company or Hershey Chocolate Corp because it would have been manufactured in 1928. In 1968 Hershey Chocolate Corp became Hershey Foods Corp.
Therefore this is a can from around 1973 label says Hershey Foods Corp priced appropriately.
This small can was sold in a grocery store...it's a rare item over 40 years old unopened...and a nice addition to any collection. Its not a sample, Hershey sold smaller portions back then of the syru for household use.. This can was eventually replaced in grocery stores by 16 Oz.
A unique piece of Lancaster USA history
