7-piece lot of old Monarch brand containers. 2 Tea tins: green tea, 5 1/2" x 3 1/4" x 3 1/4"; and imperial gun powder tea, 6" x 3 1/4" x 3 1/4", tin top and bottom, cardboard sides.

One bouillon cubes tin, 1/2" x 2 5/8". One stick cinnamon box, 4" x 2 1/2", with lots of cinnamon left. One peppermint extract bottle, still nearly full, 3 3/4" tall, in original box. Very pretty pieces, all with the Monarch lion. Some age wear but basically in very good condition.
