Default Anyone Heard of c1880 Old Pop Smith Tobacco Tin with Crossed Baseball Bats?

1880nonsports, No way..really? wow I don't hear of many...I saw a wiped out one on eBay maybe a couple years ago, and that's it. Someone told me there was only 7 or so known...Do you have a photo of it? Give me the lowdown...How much did you sell it for? How long ago? I don't recall ever seeing one in a Leland's auction....facts please facts!!!

David, Thanks for clearing that up on the C for Cornell....so what is it you quietly collect? I have a tin photo for you...saw this on eBay many moons ago...it's of the Oxford Cambridge boat race..for some reason I don't have a full shot of it just the close-ins..I recall it was only about 7-8" wide...I bid enough to choke a reindeer as I recall and got blown out. It's just as well, I don't know what I was thinking...I really shouldn't be paying serious money for an English Tin...then again it is a great tin.
