RARE SHOGUN TOBACCO TIN TOPS $8,500

Shogun Tobacco Tin
The rare Shogun Mixture tin auctioned by Morphy's last weekend sold for $8,625. We first saw this pocket tobacco tin at a can collectors "Canvention" while we were filming our television show in 1989. It sold then for $6,000. At December 2009 sales brought the auction house its "second highest fourth quarter income ever." We have noticed happier dealers at recent shows and auctions.
