JeremyTom - Keep em coming ! Love the pictures... Thank you for sharing -- I dug out my 5 Tins and I have 2 Autosales (Green and Pink) and 3 Colgans (2 Pink, 1 Green). Four of them have the writing around the rim and the Food & Drug Act info on the bottom as well. I do have a Green one that does not have any writing around the rim w/ no Food & Drug Act info on bottom. Is it possible, that the tins with no writing of the food and drug act & Info on the rim are the earlier tins ? These look like an initial issue from their plain-ness... I am merely speculating and this is probably documented... One side note, I bought this Green Colgan tin w/ no writing around rim, etc. w/ a Nashville Colgan Chip w/ it. (This was my first tin I purchased only b/c it had the Nashville Player I was looking for...) The tin came from a older one owner fella who had the tin and chip for decades...
Thanks again for this Great Thread !
