This is a place holder for a 1951-era McCormick pumpkin pie spice in as seen in this ad from the 11/19/1951 Evening Star (Washington D.C.). Hunting since July I have yet to find one! Note the pie spice graphic and pry top.

The previous two tins may look similar, but note the big "Mc" having a white line inside vs. the solid Mc. I& #39;ve found ads and known-date tins with the white line Mc from 1939-1959. In 1962 the solid Mc appears.

Pumpkin pie recipe and pumpkin pie spice tips (Forbes / Jas. H. Forbes Tea & Coffee Co., cardboard and tin, 15¢)

This is an unusual top.

Based on price tracking I& #39;ve done, 15¢ would place this loosely around the 1950s, but I don& #39;t have a whole lot of data yet. ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/fczgcsqu4qpbenl/spiceprices.xlsx?dl=0)
