Default Polar Bear Tobacco display box

Local auction item. Is this the same Polar Bear brand from T206 backs?

Thanks for you assistance!

Could be wrong, but I don't think so. Polar Bear tobacco was in pouches, not packs. I'm not a Tt206 guy though, so I'm sure others will chime in. Still a neat item though.

Default maybe?

I could be wrong, too, but I think it's the same 'Polar Bear' in relation to t206's. I've seen a few of these tins and always thought it would be cool to get one. They seem to bring decent money when they're sold, too, as they're not common. Just my opinion...........Matt

The pack on this piece looks identical to the one listed here:

I have one of these PB tins and received it from a fellow board member. He had two at the time and mentioned to me that T206's were found in the one that he kept that were slid between the top lid and a screen that is inside the tin.

Yes, it looks correct for the T206 era. I've seen these sell for $500 in that condition.

Echoing what others have said - this is the same brand as "Polar Bear". This was a quasi-countertop display for the pouches.
