Long description: Ice cream cone of recycled tin. The cone consists of a tin cone (1999.33.26 .2) with a flat base and rounded lid (1999.33.26 .1).

The exterior of the cone is plain tin but in the interior of the main body it is possible to see the printed writing and designs from the original can. The lid is made of plain tin. [MdeA 10/11/99]
