Hello Tabacco community,
First post on here, I have a question for the community.Â
I had to empty my uncles house (in the Netherlands), in his office I found a little wooden box with a tin tabacco box inside.Â
The tin seems quite old, it is still sealed and in a good condition. It looks from 1940 or mayeb earlier, I did do a search on Google but can find only similiar a few -empty- cans .
So I was wondering does anyone on here could tell me more about it?
Attached some pictures.
Thanks for your feedback
sorry I can't post the pics overhere, it' seems that the link is canceled, is there a solution?
You can take a photo with your phone and post directly from it. I’d be curious to see the tin.Â
That’s too bad. Can you just post the address of the link to the picture on Imgur?
Never saw one like that. It seems it´s a cigarette tin and contains cigarettes.Â
Yes it seems like that, not entirely sure...can't find anything about...
Super cool! It looks in amazing condition too. Murray’s made some of my all time favorite pipe tobacco, I didn’t know they made cigarettes as well. I’d be so tempted to open that up and start smoking!
I'm very tempted indeed, always wanted to taste a rezl cigarette not ammoniac filled stuff you can buy nowadays.
I dont think I will tho, maybe try to sell it, im sure somebody will be more happy with it, then me.
Maybe try on e bay or something dont really know.
It´s indeed a true rarity and in good aesthetic condition. I knew Murray as a very well stablished blender of pipe tobacco. They made Dunhill blends from 1980 until early 2000´s. Of course I knew they made Craven A cigarettes, and maybe Rhotmans, because Murray belonged to Rhotmans-Carreras Group. but I didn't knew they made cigarettes under their factory name. Try to look for more info before you sell it and ad it to the description.
Imperial Tobacco was the last owner of Murray, and closed the factory in 2005.
I wouldn´t do it. This tin can be 80-90 years old!. You would destroy it´s value as a true collectible rarity, and the tobacco would be unsmokeable for sure. In 2021 I found a lost Freiburg & Treyer 20 cigarette box I purchased in 1979. 42 years old. Those were superb cigarettes. I opened the box, and the cigarette paper has darkened. Lit one and tasted like dry straw.
