Antique Coffee Bin

This antique 19th-century country store toleware coffee bin dispenser is a rare piece of general store advertising used for bulk coffee sales. The rectangular metal container is finished in black toleware with an aged, distressed patina that includes original hand-painted floral stenciling accents on the corners and lower drawer. A defining feature of this model is the large, central arched mirror set into the front, which was designed to catch the light and attract customers in a busy store. Below the mirror, the bin features a slanted front face with "MOCHA" stenciled in faded lettering, indicating its original use for coffee storage. The unit includes a lidded top for refilling and a lower hinged door with a small knob for dispensing product. This particular dispenser shows significant vintage character with surface wear, fading, and minor oxidation consistent with its long history as a functional retail fixture.
