I went pickin at a local antique mall this weekend. Place is pretty big, it’s called Rennigers, I think they have other locations in the US. I don’t think it’s Silver, but it does seem to have a gold lining: 
I also found a 1/2 ounce W.E. Garrett with Tax stamp in tact. Only paid $4 for it. 
Here’s a Lucky Strike 50 count cigarette tin I bought from the same guy, it also has a Tax stamp on it, the spoon was a freebie. 
A few bottles I bought at Rennigers a few months ago. 
And my other box, paper mache with shell inlay. And my silver salt spoon from the 20’s-30’s. 
I found a can of W.E. Garrett from 1927, it was empty but was very cool, price was $95. I also found a can of Lorillard Sweet and Square, probably from the 60’s or 70’s, $22 each was too high for something that is very common.
One rather large permanent antique mall here in town. I keep checking periodically but I’ve yet to come across anything like what you’ve found at your spot. Nice score stokes
I agree, some nice finds. I used to “go antiquing” quite a bit. I need to get out and do some. I invariably find things of interest. How well does the silver box work. Perhaps its pewter or tin.
The top box works great. No spills. I cleaned it out and used it all night, have Princes in there right now. The lid seals nicely, and now that it is getting some use, it opens a bit easier. It only cost me $28.
Haha, I’ve got a ‘flat fifty’ tin as well. I’m a Lucky Strike collector, I guess
How old are they, Bart?
I always thought mid- fifty, early sixty , but I believe they quit using the green ‘camo’ pack earlier than that…so ,ya, I’d say possibly40’s to early 50’s. BTW Stokes, LSMFT Loose Straps Mean Floppy T*ts…
Nice find Chris. You should use the boxes and bottles. We never had the 50s Lucky Strikes is SA., only 20s plain. I used to smoke them for many years. But when I switched to Texan plain, I could not stand the taste of the Luckies. Never smoked them again.
How could you not like the toasting, Pieter!?!? My mouth is watering just thinking about it
I can’t stand cigs anymore, but I’d love a lucky every now and again.
Well, Lucky Strike got into a bit of trouble, when their jingle in the 40s “Lucky Strike Green has Gone to War” which I believe was to the tune of Johnny Comes Marching Home. Their market research had shown that dark green was not an attractive color, and they wanted to switch to white. Rather than tell customers why they were switching to white, they fabricated a story that they were helping with the war effort and their green dye was needed by the army for coloring army clothes, tents, etc. It was all rubbish and was exposed some years later, especially when the green color did not return after the war. So I’m guessing its pre-war? If there is a tax stamp you can date it, anyway.
Well, now that RJ owns them, they’re not as toasted, but I guess if someone offered me one, I’d take it, just out of politeness sake :). For being unfiltered, they were pretty dang mild! Oh, Chris, it looks like that 'flat ’ is pre 1942 after a quick search…They switched to white soft packs after 1942 and I’m guessing the tins as well. My old neighbor, who worked with my grandpa at Multi-Color in Cincinnati some 60-70 years ago, still has 2 by six crate boards stashed above his trusses in his garage stamped LSMFT
Maybe I got a deal for only $6.
Yes, you did. (And I thought this was going to be a thread about picking your nose.) Good finds Chris!
The papier mache box is rather nice too.
@Bart, I smoked toasted cigarettes only! No virginia stuff for me. Texan is also toasted and so was/is Gunston, Chesterfield and Camel which I also loved. I hardly ever smoked filtered cigarettes, always prefered plain.
cstokes4, Nice haul there! Congratulations on the finds.
