Julie,

It wasn't unopened. The picture below shows two pieces of gum and a paper insert that was placed between the gum and the tin. The overall condition of the tin is a bit worn as can be seen by the lid in the scan.

Actually, I think it may have belonged to a pitcher that used to throw a spitball. It shows signs of nervous fingernail ticking where the paint is chipped off the container. I was wondering if I should submit it for authentication as a "game used" tin but then the way things are going these days I'm afraid it may be rejected and then an offer placed on it. I would then sell it only to find out that Proctor and Gamble (the last company to own the Colgan's label) purchased it for a princely sum from the authenticator that told me it wasn't a game used tin, to begin with - I digress.
