Default Colgan's Tins...............

Posted By: Tom Boblitt

Okay, not cards but what the cards came in.............
I have (7) DIFFERENT colgans tins. Different solely based on both the color and on the printing info on the back of them. Can anyone confirm the 'Sterling Gum' in Green to match the Sterling Gum in pink pictured at the bottom of the picture? Anyone have anything different than the (4) types pictured.........

#1..........Colgan Gum, Louisville, with printing around the rim
#2..........Colgan Gum, Louisville, no printing around the rim
#3..........Autosales Gum, New York, with printing around the rim
#4..........Sterling Gum, New York, no printing around the rim

Also....both Autosales Gum & Sterling Gum say 'successors to Colgan'. Anyone know which came first....Autosales or Sterling? Or did Colgan split into two?

Thanks..................bear with me on the large photo.....
