Globe Tobacco Company

[No gold in NY]

Who would have thought that after seeing the post by jgas on his cigar jar I would find something similar. In fact I found two tobacco jars at a huge antique show. The one I chose to purchase was on the internet for $110. The dealer wanted $50 for this one. I offered $35 and she bumped it up to $40. I grabbed it. Never saw one before, don't think I will ever dig one, and may never see one again. The embossing reads...GLOBE TOBACCO COMPANY...DETROIT. PAT OCT 10th 1882. It is made to look like a barrel. As nice as it is I think the one jgas dug and reassembled is more beautiful.

Sunrunner, sorry about your Globe jar. Had to be heart breaking.

A neighbor of yours from Alabama was here yesterday to find my TIN MAN geocache. Says he just loves the NY weather.

Hey No Gold, I think that's a very sweet purchase. I would not have passed that up either. Did ya get my PM by chance? Nice score. jgas

JGAS, yes I did. That's why I jumped on it. Another vendor had a smaller, different brand for $45, but I didn't inquire. Thanks for your help.

That thing just makes me want a segar, and I don't even smoke! It would fit right in with what few barrels I have. Great score!

nice buy

That's a fair price for the jar without a lid in that color, I had a very nice yellow one I sold, with the lid, for around $200... Enjoy it
