88 Cans of PA hidden for 94 yrs.

[TheSmokeamater]

An interesting story I just found: Woman finds 88 cans of Prince Albert hidden in her walls.

I am blocked from posting links due to my junior status here. However I am sure any of you guys can find the story through google search.

"jsonline prince albert in 88 cans wisconsin"

...Should yeild results.

I actually contacted the woman who found them a few months ago after seeing that article. I wrote the journalist who put me in touch with her. She was very nice, and was actually willing to sell a couple. Unfortunately she knew what she had and it was priced accordingly. Prince Albert, no matter how old it is, is still Prince Albert. I couldn't bring myself to pay that much for the novelty. That's just me, though.

Didn't we get a piece of that story here on the forum? It sounds familiar.
Sorry you weren't able to swindle an old lady out of her treasure, E.

I remember reading this somewhere. Perhaps here on BoB.

That WAS interesting and well written. It had my heart pounding like I was the one finding the tin.

Thanks!

Steve's blog is fairly new and he has been re-releasing older posts almost daily. I've been following along daily while on vacation and he's given me some nice reading material to enjoy.
