Cycle Cigarettes Tin

[biggies]

I recently purchased this tin at a flea market and wondered what the community thought about it.

Thanks for any input, Bob

Could you please post scans of the bottom and all 4 sides as well?

I have to use phone and photo Tony, and it takes forever to get the pics to email. But I will post as soon as they appear.

To me it looks like the end of a carton pasted onto some kind of holder. That said I am far from sure....

Thanks for the added pics Bob. After seeing these, its of my opinion that some sort of label was simply pasted onto an old tin giving it the look of an original Cycle tin.

I do not think this is genuine, but will await others to chime in as well.

has some nice patina on it. Looks interesting. But not my area of interest

Some kind of homemade Frankensteined cigarette case. I love it. Something only someone who loved Cycle smokes would have done.

Good find Trey, thanks.
