J.C. Lore Pint Oyster Tin Can from Solomons Maryland

A great looking old pint size oyster can from J. C. Lore + Sons from Solomons, MD.  It is the Famous Patuxent River brand variation.

Historic Solomons is located on the Patuxent River in Calvert County in beautiful Southern MD. The oyster house property is on the campus of the Calvert Marine Museum now.

This can has great graphics and colors. It is in very nice condition as shown with some rust spots.
 
The J.C. Lore Oyster Company was one of the largest and most successful seafood‑packing operations in Southern Maryland. It was founded by Joseph C. Lore Sr. in 1888, during the height of the Chesapeake oyster industry. The company specialized in packing and shipping Patuxent River oysters, crabs, and fish. 
 
Lore built his first Solomons packing house in 1922, but it was destroyed by the 1933 Chesapeake–Potomac hurricane. A new, larger facility was constructed in 1934, which still stands today and is now a National Historic Landmark.
