Sirop Melangé Pomona Tins
1950? Pomona syrup can featuring MM. Dutch poetry and side panels of cow, pig, and pitcher. $50 from tincollectors@gmail.com, Jan., '20. Here is another lovely presentation of MM. The pitcher broke. The chicken, pig, and cow on the left remind us of her dreams. The poetry on the long side reads "Dance of Joy, There spills the milk. Calf and Cow, Pork and brood are gone." Click on the image to see the long and short sides as well as the top in fuller presentation.

1953? Sirop Melangé Pomona. Illustrating "The Cat, the Weasel, and the Hare." Art signed L. Ruymen/53. R.C. Verviers, Belgium, Sept., '08. This syrup tin presents the fable in engaging fashion. The top of the tin has the two disputants before the cat "Grippeminaud, le bon apôtre," seated on top of an inverted bushel-basket. The short sides show the three characters standing or sitting tall. The long sides reveal, in La Fontaine's French and in Walloon, that the cat "gets the two contestants in accord -- by munching on the one and the other." |

1950? Sirop Melangé Pomona syrup can featuring FS. Dutch (?) poetry and side panels of fox and stork. $15 from sunbeamavenger62 through Ebay, Feb., '23. Here is an older syrup can, so old that it can be hard to read text or image. This is another item whose shipping cost more than the item. The dress and accessories of both characters are lively! |
