Default Leon's E98 Mack in the new pickup thread. Why stains are a good thing.

It's kind of odd, at least to me, that there hasn't been found an unopened candy/caramel container. Every once in a while an unopened tobacco container shows up, why not candy ???? Yes a 90 year old caramel is going be pretty funky, but so are 90 old cigarettes.

Just the other day I had to pull out my heavy coat (nights are getting a bit chilly in Savannah, and my Northerner blood has thinned a bit ). I reached into my pocket and pulled out a York Peppermint, I must have put there last Winter. Now 9 months isn't 9 decades, but Grandpa might have shoved a box of "E98's" into his Buster Brown shorts the last time he wore them (before his growth spirt), and totally forgot about it also.


So:
1 -- Has there ever been a c1910 candy container found unopen ?
2 -- No I didn't eat ther York, but I did seriously consider it.
