Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Has anyone ever seen this Pirate Tin before? It's pretty cool looking although a tad rusty. I wonder if packs came in it that contained cards, or more importantly, baseball cards? regards all<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38053&item=6163426 389&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW" target="_new">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38053&item=6163426 389&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW</a>

Posted By: <b>Adam J. Baxter</b><p>Pretty cool. What is the deal with these cards anyway? I know they were distributed overseas, but are they really that tough to find? Have any come up for sale recently?

Posted By: <b>Mike McGrail</b><p>... that the tin has some Dutch words on it. I really have to look around better over here!<br /><br />There are currently 2 eBay auctions ongoing that feature these cards. No baseball though.<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4120&item=61641966 27&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4120&item=61641966 27&rd=1</a><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=5175802 661&rd=1" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=31719&item=5175802 661&rd=1</a><br /><br />Ciao for now,<br /><br />Mike

Posted By: <b>Joe P.</b><p>I found the combination of Latin and Germanic derivative words very interesting.<br /><br />What does NEEMT ER EEN MEE mean?<br /><br />Thank you.<br />Joe P.

Posted By: <b>Ted</b><p>Literally it means: TAKES THERE A WITH, which probably is an expression like "take it with you", or "take one with you". It is indeed Dutch.<br><br>Ted<br />He who so shall, so shall he who!

Posted By: <b>Ted</b><p>That is a holder for catalogs of Pirate Cigarette stuff. Gratis, meaning free and the Dutch words, NEEMT ER EEN MEE, meaning take one, together provide the information that it probably sat on a counter and was filled with small pamphlets or papers that showed what was offered by the company.<br><br>Ted<br />He who so shall, so shall he who!

Posted By: <b>Joe P.</b><p>I knew that Mike, or someone would step up to the plate.<br /><br />I had a feeling that the counter display held something other than cigarette packs.<br />The words catalogue and free, hinted at something else.<br />Thanks again.<br /><br />Ted, you may now post anything you wish about cards. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Joe P.
