ancient sesame seed canister found in kitchen cabinet

today in my kitchen i found an unopened tin canister of sesame seed, safeway brand, stamped 99 cents on the top and exp. date june 17, 1984 (two days before my birthday) on the bottom. i tried taking a picture to upload, but i couldn't get a good pic with my shitty 4 mp digital camera.

so ill describe it more: the top of the label is a rich semi-dark orange with bold simple type saying SESAME SEED, the bottom is painted to look like mohogany wood and in white lettering says, Crown Colony, and has the classic circular 'S' safeway symbol.
