Default Continuing the Ty Cobb/Ty Cobb back debate

and most of their other containers are common enuff and don't get big money. The Penn 1 pocket (pocket tin collectors are well established as is the supply demand equation) is extremely tuff and sells in rarified air - it's circa 1900. Of note however is an entry I found:

4 small Penns spells quality tins manufactured @ factory 33 N.C. - two tins with tax stamps; 1916 & 1910; cancellation unknown. They obviously continued to produce tobacco after the breakup. In addition I found some Peerless paper tobacco packages for the F.F. Adams company listing the ATC incorporated as successor. I am still working on the can manufacturer thing. Maybe we can find an historian with files or knowledge of the tin manufacturer that would have produced the tin. You guys are so good you beat me to finding the factory. I'm not done yet happy.gif

Ted Z. - if you happen by this - has it been determined the # of known examples with and without a glossy surface? Sorry if this was covered but you guys are so fast and prolific - it's often hard to keep up.......
