Tony Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Some say I have a thing for old tobacco tins, they could be right. Tony
Tony Posted March 26, 2010 Author Posted March 26, 2010 All have some contents but only a few are complete.
Brian Wolfe Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 You can never have enough... Very nice Tony, I've only had one of these and have regretted selling it ever since doing so. Regards Brian
Tony Posted March 27, 2010 Author Posted March 27, 2010 Very true Brian, just like chocolate, you always want more but these are starting to get expensive so I haven't bought any for a while. I've just remembered I have another complete one with the pencil tucked away. Tony
Stuart Bates Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 I have one but with no contents - courtesy of an ex-girlfriend. If anyone would like it then let me know as it should belong to someone who would appreciate it more than I ever can. Stuart
Mervyn Mitton Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 Stuart - Hi. Perhaps we should warn you that the tins - empty - sell for between £20 - £25 ($30-40) , dependent on condition. The little bullet pencils are over £30 ($45)
Dave Alexander Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 My paternal grandfather served with the 1/18 London Regt during WW1. He related how after a call went out to the British public that the troops at the front were short of cigarettes they received so many tins of them that they paved the trenches with them to keep their feet dry.
leigh kitchen Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Gimmee Gimmee Stuart - but sell, don't give.......
