nice.....................
All I really know about this tin is they were made one year with the words now king below the portrait and does anyone know of value on this tin ?
you found Prince Albert in the can !! lol
I know price Albert cans are s dime a dozen but this particular one was only made one year about 1910 or so
At a recent auction I attended there were two of these for sale, one in near mint went for $700 and one rated 7.5-8 went for $215. Yours is in awful condition sadly, but it is a rare tin and might still bring $50-100 to someone just starting a collection and looking for a "Now King"
Great find!
My website at http://antiquetobacco.com has tons of information on antique tobacco tins and I'm always around to help.
Considering I give a dollar for it I'm cool with the condition
this one is in my collection: http://www.mygerardinc.com/images/pa/paking.jpg
