VINTAGE red ERICANN'S lebkuchen Germon candy tin 15 OZ (CF54)

Description: Vintage Ericann's Lebkuchen Cookie Tin from New Buffalo, Michigan, from the Ericann Candy Company, founded in Chicago. The tin is most likely from the 70's or early 80's since it's marked from Grand Beach, New Buffalo, Michigan. Lebkuchen is a highly sought after old-world German Christmas cookie. The tin is in good condition. Tin measures 5" tall with a 4" diameter. A little history of the Ericann Candy that I was able to dig up: Founded in 1949, the Ericann Candy Company made lebkuchen and other authentic German sweets in the United States for over three decades. It was run by the brother and sister team of Erich Hamburger and Ann Hofman, both German immigrants. Erich was a baker by trade, who honed his craft in his home country and also Switzerland. Their candy company began as a storefront on East 55th Street in Chicago and then moved to the city's South Shore neighborhood in the 1960s.It eventually evolved into a mail-order business, operating out of the Pinewood Lodge in Michigan until the mid-1980s, when the company was sold. Erich passed away in 1991 at age 73, while Ann lived to be 88, passing away in 2003. The Ericann name still endures, however, as their beautifully crafted vintage cookie tins are enthusiastically sought after by collectors on websites like Etsy.An excerpt from a 1985 Washington Post article featuring the 6 best mail order holiday gifts:Ericann Lebkuchen: Lebkuchen is a centuries-old German spice cookie made with fruits and almonds, and it is increasingly hard to find at holiday time. Erich Hamburger, 67, a baker and confectioner who learned his trade in Germany and Switzerland, and each year from October to December he takes to the kitchen at the Pinewood Lodge in Grand Beach, Mich. I guess this stuff was legendary! Especially if you lived in Chicago during the 50's, or were lucky enough to receive these delectable treats as a holiday gift.
