Description
Vintage IMPORTED FINLANDIA (1970s?) Ribbon Cut Pipe Tobacco - Tear-Away Display Box of Six (6) 1-1/2 oz unopened pouches.
Gold seals appear to have "194" stamped on them, but these are believed to be much older than 1994.

Condition:
Well over fifty years old, the box has yellowed, and there is stock wear in a few places. The top is nearly broken away, and will likely be separated by the time it arrives. Otherwise, the assembly still feels stable and tight. Packs inside have never been opened. Moisture levels are unknown, of course, but expect to re-hydrate.
A very nice and unique display piece as a whole, or ready to be cracked open, and each (hopefully delicious) pouch smoked!
Notes about shipping costs, AND combined shipping:
Understanding that shipping prices may be prohibitive for small dollar purchases, this countertop / shelf display set is being sold as an un-opened whole, while priced to maintain a minimum for each box or pouch of this somewhat rare item. Buyer receives original manufacturer presentation of the lot, and 9 ounces in total, for one least expensive shipping cost.
Buyers of the same name and complete shipping address, paying for multiple won auctions in any 24-hour period (or more, at our discretion), will have their items safely packaged together into one COMBINED SHIPPING box. After we notify TinBids of any shipping labels that were not generated and supply them with the new box parameters, they will link the tracking, adjust shipping cost, and refund the overage.
