Best Tin Art?

[JoburgB2]

For me, this tin art is iconic.

I think I have used the word “iconic” in a dozen posts. I must find a new vocabulary. Hmm. What’s another word for “thesaurus”?

The McClelland logo and whale. Not that is truly iconic! And sorely missed.

Some communist art. Circa 1960s, to young to try it.

 

[Servant King]

The fumes and the flies totally seal the deal.

Is that a McClelland meerschaum pipe?!? Please tell us about it (sorry if it was shared elsewhere).

 

[philobeddoe]

The pipe was made by SMS meerschaum and is one of I believe 25 pipes that were made for McClelland’s 25th anniversary.

You beat me to it.

C&D has some good ones, gentleman caller I like a lot also, though I’ve never tried it.

That’s very cool. Thanks for following up.

Really like Great Outdoors’ tin.

I agree about the painted MB and Dunhill tins.

I was searching for some SG Cabbies Mixture on a European site, and came across these two beautiful tins. We don’t know how lucky we are here in America. I mean, come on….

There is almost something perversely appealing about collecting a set of tins with the most gruesome, horrific, and stomach turning images—it would make for an interesting, weird, and odd collection. I could see compiling a set like that, but there are so many pipes, blends, books, posters, manuscripts, records, toys, etc. I’d rather get first.
