Description
I have a tin tobacco box. I am unsure of the age as I can't find a date on it. The box is an Allen & Ginter's Richmond Gem Curly Cut. It ssays it was manufactured by Allen Ginter in Richmond Virginia. It does says something about awarded Philadelphia 1876. On the bottom of the box is a stamp that reads New York China CO Tin Cans.
