Description
Vintage painted metal tin with finger-pull inner lid, and clear plastic stay-fresh type protector lid.
NOTE: Larus & Brother Company, Inc., Richmond Virginia ... is said to have closed its doors in 1974! The UPC code must be one of the earliest. Now aged 50 years in the sealed tin!!!
On clear plastic lid:
"FINE TOBACCO PRODUCTS"
"HOUSE OF EDGEWORTH"
"SINCE 1877"
"NET WT. 14 OZ."
"JOHN ROLFE Pipe Mixture is named in
honor of America's first successful tobacco
planter whose crop in 1612 saved the
Virginia colony at Jamestown.
JOHN ROLFE Pipe Mixture combines a
blend of choice, specially cured tobaccos
with a precise amount of Peach Brandy
flavor for an exciting smoke with a fresh,
satisfying taste and aroma."
"Made under authority of
Larus & Brother Company
Richmond, Virginia 23217
by
The Pinkerton Tobacco Company
Owensboro, Kentucky 42301"
"MADE IN U.S.A."
Production code embossed on underside of tin, appears to be:
"F 481"
Condition:
Clear lid has discolored slightly from age, and has a small crack propagating at one edge, but is still flexible and seals well. Pull-away metal lid is still perfect and factory fresh looking, HOWEVER: THE CIRCLE EDGE HAS SEPARATED FOR ABOUT 1/3 OF THE CIRCUMFERENCE! Painted side has little tiny blemishes throughout. Plated tin base has several small oxidation spots, as well as around the perimeter there. Interior moisture levels are unknown, of course, but expect to re-hydrate, given the lid breach.
Very nice and unique display piece as a whole, or ready to be cracked open and enjoyed!
