Default SOLD - Tobacco did someone say tobacco?

FOR SALE:

Circa 1890's C.H.Y.P. Tobacco Tin

Cornell! Harvard! Yale! Princeton!

All schools I'd have ZERO chance of getting into, however........

....very cool looking Graphics on this bad boy, and most importantly.....baseball.

4 colleges, 4 sports.

Baseball, Football, Rowing, and Tennis, a lil somethin somethin for everyone!

Surely someone on this board went to one of these Ivy League Schools, this appeals to so many collecting aspects, baseball, tobacco, the 4 schools, the 4 sports.

Tin measures 3-3/8" x 4-1/2" x 2-1/4" tall. Embossed print on interior reads "World's Columbian Exposition - Chicago - Awarded the Highest Prize for - Cigarettes, Smoking Mixtures - and - Cut Plug Tobacco, - to - Cameron & Cameron, - Richmond, VA. USA". The back indicates that the tin came from "Factory No.4 - nd District of VA."

Perhaps the oldest tin depicting sports in existence!! I have no idea. Any tin men out there, advise.

Should not last long, don't hesitate, scoop her up!

$200 Shipped (paypal friends and family preferred)
