Thought I would share this. I've never seen another one of them.

Is there a possibility that this is a tea - as in Gunpowder tea - bin? I think gunpowder tea is/was a form of green tea from China.

I'm a know nothing, but the reference to gun powder tea sparked my interests. This looks very similar to the OP picture. Seems JBJ may be on to something.
