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)
