So I have been thinking of sprucing up a corner of my humble "man cave" for the pipe stuff I have (and am getting) and started wondering about the old/antique tobacco tins I've seen so many of you with. So, what's the deal with them? Is there a particular thing or type to look for? Any in particular worth more than others? Any sites with info on them?
I ran by a large (18,000 sq ft) antique store on the way home today and the guy has like 500 of them on the shelf and said he had 10 times that in his storage area. I'm guessing there are plenty of them out there? I saw plenty of Prince Albert, Middleton, etc. And a few I've never heard of. Too bad there's not a price guide out there for this sort of thing. Or is there?
