    Uk collector here, late to the party! What a great haul, thanks for the upload. I don't know much about American tobacco tins but if you still have them, I think the high plane (?) tins have four regular versions, the one with the four engine plane tends to be the most sought after and valuable. All the best from across the pond.

    Man…When I think back about how many of those tins that I threw away or smashed over the years it makes you cry. I kept them from my grandpa using them to keep nuts, bolts, tv and radio tubes. I took all of the metal in with a scrap load in the mid-70s.

    I like the tobacco tin that had the handles like a sewing basket.
    The design on it is the way my old time sewing basket looks like.

    Enjoyed seeing all the old tobacco tins, really nice! I think you could sell the ones that still contain tobacco at the flea market.

    Couldn’t watch all through but best one I saw half through that should bring a a good sale price is the red Forest and Stream tin. A great book to get is called Tobacco Tin by Al Bergevin. Also shows grading and values. Good luck great finds.

    If you come across any Lone Jack tobacco tins manufactured by John W. Carroll from Lynchburg VA, I would be interested.

    Your pocket tins were the best finds.

    Just came across your channel looking for videos about tins after I purchased a few boxes at an auction. How did you end up doing on these on ebay?

    Having scratches on tins is like having chips on bottles

    I need a way to get in touch with you. I have some very interesting tobacco signs one is which is a 1920s Prince Albert can that is extremely rare vice Road cigarette sign advertisement and an old Pepsi bottle sign if you could post something that I could take and send you the pictures, I think you would really like this sign this Prince Albert to go into your collection

    Ok i know im late but i nned you to know you held up some pretty vauble tins like the hi plane and the sweet cuba. The person who said they are worth nothing is actually stupid. There is tons of really common tins on there but you have ones that are $200+. Please dont stop selling tins.

    Some of these are good and some ok not a lot of high value in the tins we have had a lot of those you will see them at tobacco shows Prince Albert is so plentiful only one has real value and that is the Now King

    You should be able to sell old antique tobacco that is unusable because the law about tobacco is each state adds thier own tax to usable tobacco and it has to be sold and taxed accordingly. If it is not usable and old the nicotine has evaporated and shouldn't be taxed or regulated by the same laws. I would look into it.

    You did not hold up to camera close enough or long enough to enjoy seeing the snuff bottles . You should go back and hold better to camera . Some you didn't even read so we could at least here you. Why did you unbox if you did not want us to clearly see. I do enjoy this I am going to have to go back and pause on each bottle and blow up the picture.
