Ok .. what you have there is a mid century set of cannisters made by the "Lincoln" company. The name of that particular line is called "Pantry Queen". Lincoln made them in various colors .. copper and chrome are the most common. There is a wanna be ebay site called wanelo. They have that exact set.. not in good shape though. I would also look into a brand called Kromex. They made some amazing MCM cannister sets too. I sell a set or 2 a year ..they go for 35-65 bucks per set.

Good luck sir!

Growing up my grandmother had the chrome ribbed canisters that I always thought were super cool and I found and bought a set today on the bay. I've had a few Kromex canisters but they've gotten abused over the years and got tossed in the bin. Still, that mid-century Avocado-ish green is my favorite color, the font has to be that same style,, not the three line letters.. Thanks for the heads up, Benny!

These remind me of the Antigua finish Fender put on their guitars in the late 60s and early 70s. It was the most unpopular color they ever had hands down. These canisters are sweet though!

Yeah, I don't think I would ever buy a green guitar. Lol

I had a green Tacoma acoustic. Sounded great but it WAS green.
