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 (growing up in Waycross, GA) collected tin tobacco tags. I have a rather large collection of these & am just beginning to list them. She was born in 1903. All of the tags in this lot are colored/lithographed with some paint loss & scratching. Some have MORE paint loss than others. The number of tics will be indicated below with the measurements. Please view the close up photograph of each tobacco tag for condition issues & to view paint loss. The back side of the tags are shown in Photo 2. If you see more than one tobacco tag you wish to purchase in this listing, it's more economical for you (in terms of shipping fees) to purchase them together in one transaction at check out rather than one separate transaction at a time. By purchasing them together, your shipping will be combined. Here are the measurements: 1. Manhattan G. Penn Sons Danville, VA - about 1-1/8" x 7/8" - has 2 tics folded under - see photo 2.
