Time to add another Colgan's Chip Tin variation to the list
Picked up another few Colgan's Chips Mint tins recently.
When I compared one pf the pickups to Tom's previous list, I realized I had another new variation: A Sterling Gum Mint tin with writing around the bottom border. I also have a variation Colgan's Mint gum tin with a Louisville address with writing around the top lid. The plot thickens! Patrick

There is always something to be learned about vintage. It keeps it interesting...
This card (below) came in this can originally, I believe... Quote:

Great thread
I successfully chased a type card of each Colgan and a tougher JuJu Drum including the containers. Long ago abandoned....
However this thread is a good excuse to show an early hand held printing stone (for sale btw) with Colgan tin images..... BTW those chargers and hanger are off the charts!!! Last edited by 1880nonsports; 06-18-2022 at 04:55 PM.

I'm not sure if any old newspaper ads for Colgan's have been posted before but I found this ad from a September 11 1910 Detroit press newspaper.

An ad I got in trade around 1982
Original ad from ???? dated in hand on the bottom "S. EP. 8-20-1910" . For reference the Colgans Chip Wagner pictured is about the same size as the real card.

The other images on that stone: I recognize many of the other designs as tobacco tags, which are litho'd metal
