CHARLIE I WILL SAY IT IS WHAT EVER YOU WANT IT TO BE. I GOT MY INFO FROM PUTTING IN HISTORY BEECHNUT CHEWING TOBBACO AND NORTH ATLANTIC TRADING COMPANY CAME UP. LOOKING IN THAT INFO IT SAID THE OLDEST TOBACCO CO. LORILLAND CAME OUT WITH BEECH NUT CHEWING TOBACCO IN THE 1890S. THIS CO. HAD THE FIRST TRADING CARDS AND ARE THOUGHT TO BE RESPOSIBLE FOR THE DRUG STORE INDIAN,CO. STARTED IN THE 1700S. TWO BEECHNUTS? WHEN I GO TO THE BEACH I GOT TWO SO I GUESS IT IS POSSIBLE![][8D][]

Beechnut chewing tobacco is one of many I used to indulge in. Kind of weak but not to bad.

What's the size of the jar? Got something at home embossed BeechNut on the base. Let me find it and get a pic.

Hey Charlie I know a bunch of guys on the job site that could turn that back into a tobacco "juice" jar. My Dad still to this day uses bacon fat to cook with. Neat jar.
