Collecting Tobacco Tins

 

 

Long before people collected bobble-head dolls, Pez dispensers, or baseball cards, there were Tobacco Tins.

 

“One of the fastest growing hobbies in the country is tin container collecting. These beautiful collectors’ items played just as important a part in our colorful history as the glass containers, and therefore should be every bit as highly regarded by the collector. They should be preserved for future generations to enjoy”

 

This is a downloadable reprint of one of the original Collector Books on this fascinating hobby.

 

“Some tins are quite rare and hard to find, while others are quite common and easy to locate.  After you collect tobacco tins for a while you eill become aware of which ones are common and which ones are rare. This is when the hobby really becomes interesting, because at this point you really start to search in earnest for those rate tins that really appeal to you.  There are still thousands of rare tins to be purchased across the country, and many more to be found under the old buildings, in the attics, barns and many other places where they have been thrown or stored. We hoe with this book that we have been able to help kindle more interest in these beautiful pieces of our historically wonderful past.”
