Found today Union Leader tobacco tin

[kriopelle]

Found these today while hunting an old logging railroad bed. I've searched the web but can't find a date on the tin. The ones that keep poping up are from around 1910. I don't think the railroad dated that far back but I'm not sure. Anyway here's my rusty gold. Enjoy. HH

Thanks for the site link Mack. Didn't think it could be that old but obviously it is. HH
