I PURCHASED THIS CAN OF CACAO IN RIYADH , SAUDI ARABIA IN 1989, WHEN I WAS WORKING THERE.
IT FEELS TO BE FULL. I DID NOT TRY AND OPEN IT FOR FEAR OF HURTING A SEAL IF ONE IS STILL PRESENT. THE TIN MAY HAVE BEEN OPENED EARLY ON, OR SOMETIME IN THE LAST 26 YEARS.THERE ARE 2 SHALLOW, SMALL DENTS IN THE TIN, VERY HARD TO SEE, EASIER TO FEEL FOR THEM. ONE IS BY THE C OF COCOA, ON THE FRONT THAT SAYS ROYAL DUTCH ON THE BOTTOM, PHOTO # 1. THE OTHER DENT IS BELOW THE BAR CODE DOWN IN THE WORDS CHOCOLADEFABRIEKEN . SEE PHOTO # 5. VERY HARD TO SEE. THERE IS ALSO A VERY TINY, THIN SCRATCH ON THE FOREHEAD OF THE DUTCH GIRL ON THE HOLLANDAIS SIDE. SEE PHOTO # 8, AND AT THE BOTTOM RIM OF THE TIN, BELOW AND OVER FROM THE WORD SLOUBILISE. ZOOM IN FOR THE BEST VIEWS.THIS WAS A FIND IN MY PANTRY. IT HAS BEEN HIDDEN IN THERE SINCE WE CAME BACK FROM KSA. IT IS A COLLECTORS ITEM, AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION FOR ITS 26 YEARS. NICE FOR DISPLAYING. THE PRICE REFLECTS THAT THE TIN IS FULLI AM NOW AN OLD LADY AND DO NOT NEED SO MANY \'THINGS\'. I DESCRIBE THE VERY BEST I CAN, WARTS AND ALL. YOUR SATISFACTION IS IMPORTANT TO ME.
PLEASE READ THE TEXT, LOOK AT THE PHOTOS AND ZOOM IN, AND ASK ALL YOUR QUESTIONS. RETURNS CAN BE A NUISANCE.
I SHIP IN 1 DAYS TIME WITH PAY PALS OK.
PAY PAL IS NICE FOR ME, AND PROMPT PAYMENT IS ALWAYS APPRECIATED.
THANKS.
