I found this wonderful little antique tobacco tin while visiting a local consignment shop. I walked past it in the case several times before I finally stopped to take a closer look at it and the other items in the case. I didn't know what it was at first but after getting a good look at the words on it (turns out I was permitted to open the case. I felt so special) I realized it was a tobacco tin. I'm not a tin expert by any stretch of the imagination. I personally lean towards glass but in general like all container type things. From cigar boxes to, apparently tobacco tins. Especially anything small, and/or antique, and I could tell this one was old. Plus, I had never seen this kind of shape before.
Yeah, so I had to have it. Not only because I thought it was cool, but because I didn't really know anything about it and wanted to find out. Also, the Shop was for the benefit of the local Humane Society so it was a win, win, win. I would have been a worse person for not buying it.
As soon as I got it to the car I did a quick Google search for it from my phone but found nothing. Strange, oh well, clearly a seat in front of the ole computer was going to be needed.
Nada.
