Squeezed it in - Mother of all c1900 Corn Cans...Thanks to fellow net54'er

Few weeks back on a Sunday afternoon I got a text from fellow Net54 member Chris Wright AKA Baseball Tourist...from up in Vancouver Canada...Said he was at a small antiques show and spotted this corn can and thought it would be up my alley...yup it sure was...Thank you so much Chris!!!!!!...By the time I saw the text he had left...I texted back and he called a friend at the show to get it if it was still there...bingo...I figured it looks like Edward Hanlan the famous sculler of the 19th century...and sure enough it is...Being it was at an antiques show in Canada I thought it was probably a Canadian tin...However turned out to be American....

The John N. Bey & Co. who produced it was from Vincennes Indiana...I hit the nail square on the head...a Vincennes historian Brian Spangle wrote a story in 2014 on the Bey Family grocery business...wow what more could I ask for!!!
