Established in 1924 on the historic streets of Savannah, Georgia, the family-owned Byrd Cookie Company revolutionized its local delivery business in 1949 by introducing these iconic square metal shipping canisters. This estate-sourced pair includes the deep green Benne Wafers tin and the vibrant red Benne Bits container, both beautifully detailed with retro mid-century typography and illustrations celebrating the traditional Lowcountry benne seed, a regional symbol of good luck.
