Come for the cigarette tins, stay for the loose stamps. Bankers box filled with over 45 assorted (mostly) metal tins that held 50 cigarettes, from several manufacturers. Previous owner had added little knobs on several to aid with handling and opening (these tins are probably worth the estimate alone). Inside are old envelopes with used stamps, with most appearing to be early-mid 20th century off paper, but frankly we only checked a handful of the tins (so potential lurks). As there was still some space in the box, we found other loose holdings of slightly more modern Canada (up to 2008) in glassines, envelope and 102 cards (including some with BC town cancels) and stuffed the box until it was full.
