January 19, 1825. The reason that today is Tin Can Day.

Which it is.  Tin Can Day, that is.

On this day in 1825 Ezra Daggett and Thomas Kensett received the US patent on January 19, 1825.  Never mind that British merchant Peter Durand had received the original tin can patent in 1810.

'Merca!

I'm actually quite surprised that tin cans are this old.  I guess I never thought of it, really.

Last edition:

Wednesday, January 12, 1825. A type of justice arrives for the first time.
