In a neat little Antique shop in Oklahoma last week, I found this Plow Boy Tobacco tin. It's 6" high and 5" in diameter and contained 12 oz. of tobacco.
It's pretty clean for a 100+ year old tobacco tin.

I'm not sure if the circa of this Tin is 1910 - 1912. But, I'm sure Jon C. (or any one else) on this forum can identify the year(s).







We just returned home and I haven't had a chance to photograph it. So for now, the scan of this round object on a flat screen will have to do.

Nice Plow Boy tin Ted. Thanks for sharing...

Here's a unique item. Seems it's one side of a Cracker Jack shipping crate that once transported the caramel treat. Very large in size measuring 33" x 9". Etched into the wood underneath the Cracker Jack name is their infamous slogan, "The more you eat, the more you want". I plan on having a small wooden vintage frame made for it and display it as is.

Very cool Cracker Jack piece, Tony. Framing it sounds like a great idea too. Congrats on the pick up.

ps....Please consider not restoring it, if that were ever considered.

Thank you Leon. In no way will this be restored. I think it's perfect just the way it is.

The finished product! My father is a pretty good carpenter and made the frame from scratch.

Original El Principe De Gales counter display which was a striker at one time which would have been used to light the match. You can see the small striker strip on the bottom of the base. Stands nearly a foot tall and made of metal so it's quite heavy.

It's stunning in person.
