Colgan Mint Chip empty tins?

[fkm_bky]

I love my Tin...it's just a nice show piece and can be had for a very reasonable price. I think I paid maybe $35 for this back in the early 2010's.

Edited to add: Notice the color variation b/t mine and Leon's. Mine definitely isn't as 'violet' as his.

No tin, but here is a favorite ...

I looked for my tin and found it. I'll try and post pictures when I can. The tin had a small round paper liner at the bottom, two pieces of gum and the card. It's a green tin. If I recall I picked it up in North Pole Alaska back in the 80s. It's been a while but I think I was working in Fairbanks for a couple weeks and found an antique shop in North Pole, Alaska.

Would love to see it - am looking forward to adding at least on each (Mint and Violet) to my display alongside two HOfers... I'll add my own photos back here when I finally land this!
