It was a rare occasion...Nosferatu & I were both on the hunt for antiques that day. He had been working "Out of State" for the past several years, making our joint efforts few and far between.
One of those sales...standing in line for ages, waiting to see if anything worth salvaging was left inside.
We made it to the area of the house with the flotsam and jetsam we seek. After much searching....I pull this beauty out of the heap....a very rare 1920's/30's era Battleship Coffee tin....produced by he Canby, Ach & Canby Co of Dayton Ohio. Some Background info for those so inclined...
