these folks seem to make the cans you need

and this store sells such items
Today, Todd's offers Museum visitors products typically found in mid 19th
century general stores

This store sells such things too but it is in Hawaii so the products might
not all be suitable!
"...Stocked with accurate reproductions of goods that filled the shelves
and hung from the ceiling joists, the store offers a glimpse of activities at
Kalukalu over a century ago. Close your eyes and be transported back in
time as the storekeeper offers St. Jacobs Oil to cure your arthritis or
rheumatism. Check out the store merchandise as the clerk assembles your order of
denim trousers, woolen long johns, coffee beans, tobacco, rice, calico
yard goods, a 24-length of rope to tie off your horse, and a parasol to
protect the ladies from the bright Kona sun...."

Does anyone know of any sources where I could buy reproduction
tins/cans/packages for food, toiletries, or personal items that would have been
stocked in a turn-of-the-century general store? We are putting together a
permanent general store display and what we have in our collection is not
sufficient to fill out the shelves.
If these arent things that I can buy, I'd be interested in hearing what
other people with general store displays have done.
Thanks!
