Soup Can Thermos Appraisal

Campbell's Soup Can Thermos with Handle

The item is a vintage-style thermos or soup container designed to mimic a Campbell's Condensed Soup can. It primarily features a cylindrical body with a red upper section and a white lower section, separated by a thin white stripe near the top. The design prominently displays the 'Campbell's' logo in white script on the red background, and the word 'SOUP' in white capital letters on the lower white background, surrounded by decorative gold stars, replicating the iconic soup can labeling. The lid of the container is a vibrant red, matching the upper portion of the body, and appears to be made of plastic. A single red plastic handle is attached near the top, allowing for easy carrying or drinking. The overall construction suggests it's made of plastic or possibly a combination of plastic and an insulated metal interior (typical for thermoses), though the interior is not visible. There are no obvious signs of significant damage such as cracks or large scratches, indicating it is in good, used condition. The plastic handle appears sturdy, and the graphics are well-preserved with no noticeable fading or peeling. Given its design, it likely dates from the latter half of the 20th century, probably a promotional item or a widely available product from the 1970s or 1980s. Its quality appears to be functional and decorative, serving both a practical purpose as a thermos and an aesthetic purpose as a collectible item.
