Description
Vintage McClelland Tobacco Company - MIXTURE NO. 12., in sealed tin. Net Weight 4 OZ (113.4 GRAMS). Ink stamping "129289" on the underside, is believed to be for 1989 ... aged 36 years!
"Virginias * Orientals * Tobaccos For The Pipe"
"Manufactured by
McClelland Tobacco Company
Kansas City, Missouri
U.S.A."
Gold emblem reads:
"MIXTURE NO. 12.
Rich and fully flavored, especially appealing in the evening; still, spiced gently enough with Latakia and Turkish leaf to be a superb occasional tobacco for the individual who normally prefers lighter mixtures and Matured Virginias."
Tin was very well kept, with zero oxidation, cracking, etc. Although it still feels pliable, the PLASTIC LID HAS CRACKED. Minimal shelf wear with just a few light mars on the label, if any, and virtually zero rub at the contact points. A few teeny tiny little bulge-dings on the underside ... occurs on all of these old tins, so believed to be a manufacturing effect.
LID AND BOTTOM ARE BULGING FROM BEAUTIFUL AGE EXPANSION!
This has always been maintained in a dry, temperature controlled home, but the exterior has been exposed to pipe tobacco smoke.
