Scientific American 26, 24.12.1859
One of the great objections to the many cans for conveying small quantities of paint and such like substances about, or holding them hermetically sealed, is that they are remarkably difficult to open, as we expect nearly all our readers have discovered for themselves. The invention which we have illustrated is a very simple method of overcoming this difficulty without adding materially to the expense of the can.
The can, A, is made of tin or other metal, and the top or cover, C, is also of tin or the same metal as the can, but is somewhat smaller than the opening so as to allow of a margin of soft, thin sheet metal, such as brass. 1 B, to which the cover can be soldered and that can be soldered by the can. This margin of soft metal can be cut with a penknife and the cover easily removed. The operation of cutting is like that of opening a sardine box, and is shown in our engraving. The inventor is J. W. Masury, of Brooklyn, L. I., and the patent is dated July 12, 1859. Any further information can be obtained by addressing Massey Whiton, No. 111 Fulton-street, New York.
