RE: Stuff around the house or Lots of discoveries - 8/17/2007 8:18:59 AM    logueb   Posts: 1384 Joined: 1/6/2007 Status: offline Great tins Pat, That Maxwell House Coffee brings back memories.  Didn't that can have a key attached and that peel off metal stip that you wound around the can with the key.  Hey Cap, we are getting old if we can remember this stuff.   My brother and I would hide our cigarettes in one of those Maxwell House cans. Worked great until my Uncle found the can and took it to Dad.  I still remember him with that can in hand going  to Dad at the store, You know what happened next.  Should have been enough to stop smoking then, but didn't until about 25 years later. Pat, were you wearing a blue South Carolina palmetto shirt Sat. at the bottle show in Atlanta?  If so I may have seen you. _____________________________ Buster Bottle Bug Bit with no cure in sight.

Here is a sample can I have from Cincinnati, as well as a cigar tin.. I have a bunch of tins in boxes overhead in the garage, no place to display them like everything else. I have one of those one pound coffee tins still full with the key still attached to the bottom of the tin. Like that pretty well, has some pretty good graphics.

Upon closer scrutiny , I saw the paper wasn't scratched but the color was....ut oh...I used my fingernail edge on another place on the label and the color came right off. When I told my friend he had bought a common coffee tin with a reprinted label on it , he nearly drove off the road...We returned to the shoppe but the dealer had left. The owner told us where he lived so we went there and the guy refunded my friend his money with nary a word. Since then my friend has acquired an authentic paper labeled Pilot Knob... _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.

At that time it was Known as the Globe Tobacco Works. The company was continued until march, 1887, when Mr. Weissinger bought out Mr.Bate because of Mr. Bate's failing health. I could not find out anything else. I am not sure of the age of your tin.

RE: Stuff around the house or Lots of discoveries - 8/18/2007 2:02:07 AM    L C   Posts: 1556 Joined: 3/17/2007 From: Ohio Status: online I well  know that feeling of being burnt too Charlie ! Know that feeling of being took ! Went out to Arizona one year for a visit with my Sister and her Husband. I took some trilobites I had collected here locally , figuring to maybe being able to do some trading for some fossils or rocks from that area. My Nephew took me to a rock  shop locally that had some really nice fossils as well as minerals. Anyway there was a super nice looking pair of Phacops Trilobites on a piece of matrix. I traded the Lady around twenty five of the trilobites I had brought with me. The trade was kind of a stupid one on my behalf, but I wanted the Phacops so I was not all that concerned about the trade, that is , not in till we were on the way back home. Phacops trilobites are black in color, matrix is sort of a bluish gray mostly. Anyway, I was caressing the trilobites being really tickled with having a nice pair of them, till one of them turned white where I had rubbed my finger over it. That's right Folk, a blasted reproduction. It was a casting made from the original fossils, looked authentic as could be. If I had not rubbed over one and removed some of the paint, I never would have caught it till it was too late. I had no idea of any of this foolishness going on in that field of collecting, should have known I guess, there is always devious People in all areas of collecting regardless of what it is. I believe that was the maddest I had been for a long time. I instructed my Nephew to turn around and take me back there ASAP. When we got there, I walked up to the counter, and the Lady looked at me and asked, Are you bring the Phacops back. I answered her by saying, Yes, and Being you have asked that question, I am sure you know quite well why I am doing so. I was a little loud in my speech, and had drawn a few looks from other people in the shop. She never said another word, she just reached below the counter, and got the trilobites I had traded her, and handed them to me. I said, thank you, and here is your junk back as well and walked out. I felt like a fool for quite a while before getting over that experience. I have since picked up a few casting of a couple of really nice sized Phacops, but I did not pay the price of originals for them. They are truly a beautiful specimens. If you have never seen any, just do a search on Phacops Trilobites on eBay or Google, and you will find some to be able to view them. (in reply to whiskeyman) Post #: 17
