Hi guys just thought I would show some of my newest additions to the collection ..I just got the white letter checkers ,the blue stanwix, the red arm surbrug's, the wagon wheel , the curved top maryland club, cardinal sample and a sir walter raleigh !!! yes I got very lucky with those but I am very proud of the sir walter !!! yes it has taken me a number of years to finally find one I enclosed a pic of it its a brown and williamson winston-salem N.C. I couldnt believe it but now I have a question for you guys the only example I knew of this was the sir walter raleigh in a single line across the top this one has it in two lines like the regular ones from louisville ky any ideas guys was this a short produced tin prior to their move from N.C. to ky? yes I know it can use a cleaning its not as clean as the others I got but I have searched for this for so long I couldnt pass it up which I almost did cuz it was writen with the 2 lines as oppose the single line any info on this version would be great guys !! as always guys Happy hunting
The Staright line one is the more rare one and there is also one with a 15 cent printed right under the lid. see it at http://www.mygerardinc.com/images/vtins/stu/s/sirwalt1.jpg
