Check-out this Plow Boy Tobacco tin....and how's about showing us some Plow Boy cards
 

In a neat little Antique shop in Oklahoma last week, I found this Plow Boy Tobacco tin. It's 6" high and 5" in diameter and contained 12 oz. of tobacco.
It's pretty clean for a 100+ year old tobacco tin.

I'm not sure what year(s) this Tin was marketed. But, I'm sure Jon C. (or any one else) on this forum can clue me in.

We just returned home and I haven't had a chance to photograph it. So for now, scans of this round object on a flat screen will have to do.

I had one in my collection but don't remember the specifics. I am pretty sure, just as most other tobacco related things, there were different versions.

I saw a pack of Plow Boy in an antique store while crossing the country a few years ago. They wanted $100 for it. But I thought that was pretty pricey and they didn't even know about the baseball connection.

Go Cubs!

The background of this picture of Chance appears to me to be Wrigley Field.

Am I wrong in this observation ?

Wrigley Field was built in 1914.
