Default Ever Wondered What A Colgan's Chip Looked Like?

Posted By: Dan Bretta

A few of you know that my uncle's house had a fire a few weeks back and my brother and I went over to help salvage what we could....luckily all of the family photos and boxes of memories survived. I was over at my brother's house tonight looking through boxes and spotted a Colgan's tin. Alas no card, but if you want to see what 100 year old gum looks like there were still two chips left in the tin.

My great grandma saved all kinds of candy and gum products...she wrote notes and dates on the wrappers.

This was also in the same box with the gum - looks like an Ornate frame pin, but I don't know who is pictured on it.
