Pint Oyster Can Sealshipt from the Bluepoints Co. West Sayville Long Island NY

Pint size oyster tin. Sealshipt oysters from the Blue Points Oyster Co. in West Sayville Long Island. 
A nice early can in very good condition. It measures almost 4 inches tall. It has its plug top with it.
The can shows minimal wear for a 80 year old used relic. A true piece of Long Island NY advertising history.
 
Blue Point oysters were first harvested in the early 1800s from the Great South Bay near West Sayville and Blue Point, Long Island.
They quickly gained a reputation for their exceptional flavor and became a luxury item in New York City, served in oyster cellars and restaurants
