[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 301571, member: 25"]I see a British one there, Erinmore. To find British ones vist an old British shed. They were used in huge numbers to store nuts and bolts, and all manner of odd things that may come in useful someday.Many would need a paper label with 1/4 BSF and similar, soaking off. However, since they have not been used for about the last 60 years you'd probably need about a third generation undisturbed shed. I know nothing about American ones but a useful guide to makers may be found in publications directed at tobacco card collectors. Your US examples look like an attractive and possibly reasonably inexpensive field to collect.[/QUOTE]
