Maker / Origin
Charles M. Schulz, the creator of Peanuts, is widely considered the most influential cartoonist of all time, with a career spanning 50 years and over 17,000 strips.
Condition & Value
The lithographed surface appears exceptionally bright and free of the typical scratches or 'shelf wear' often found on the lids of these tins. As a modern licensed collectible, value is driven primarily by the popularity of the 'Great Pumpkin' theme and the condition of the lithography.
