Default Croft card container?

Hi,

I am a new member of this forum and I am trying to date a Croft and Allan cocoa tin that I have had for a while. I wonder if anyone has seen this particular tin and if it was the type that contained baseball cards?

I have heard of card collectors acquiring the glass containers as ones that historically contained cards but have not heard anything about the tins. I'm also interested in whether the tins came before the glass containers, if anyone knows.

Any information about this is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jon

There seems to be some issue with your photobucket scans as you are correctly adding them to the forum. Interesting subject, btw,

Scott Mosley is the one to ask on this.

I've never seen it either but if anyone has, Scott has, or will know all about it. His userid is phlflyer1
