Default 1936 Chicago Cubs Tobacco Tin

Posted By: Rhett Yeakley

I have owned several of these tins. They really are quite nice. There are several different types of tins that were produced by the Rock City Tobacco Co. for their Chicago Cubs brand. The round tin you have is by far the easiest to come across, but is still not that easy to find. They also made a square variety very similar to the round one, which is much tougher. However there is a "generic" tin that they produced that is actually the toughest, but it is not nearly as decorative. In essense it is a square Rock City Tobacco Co tin that has stickers attached to the ends and top that carry the Chicago Cubs brand name. I have only ever seen two of the generic ones (I am sure there are more out there, just don't follow them that closely). I currently own one of the generic ones, and will try to get a picture up later if anybody is interested in seeing what it looks like. Anyways, I hope this helps.
