Description
Priced individually - antique tobacco plug tin tags from my grandmother's collection. (See the other lots listed in my shop.) As a child, my grandmother collected tin tobacco tags. I have a rather large collection of these & am just beginning to list them. She was born in 1903 & it's my recollection that she collected these as a young child. The tags in this lot are not colored/lithographed with one exception (Nutmeg Chew). I actually prefer them to the lithographed ones in her collection. The back side of the tags are shown in Photo 10 (the last photo). Here are the measurements & other condition issues: 1. Nutmeg Chew - 1" x 3/4" - missing one tab - has gold paint loss 2. Gold Ring - 3/4" x 3/4" - has both tabs 3. BIG - 1-1/4" x 1/2" - looks like two intertwined oval circles - has both tabs 4. Peanut - 1" x1/2" - has both tabs 5. Fruit Cake - 1-1/2" x 3/8" - has NO tabls 6. J. W. West & Co's Just It - 1-1/8" x 1-1/8" - has both tabs 7. Salvator R Bros (with jockey on horse) - 1-1/8" x 3/4" - has both tabs 8.
