A vintage Old Holborn Blended Virginia tobacco tin, dating from around the 1940s–1950s. This striking tin carries the bold yellow and black Gothic lettering iconic to the Old Holborn brand. Once used for both cigarette rolling and pipe tobacco, it now survives as a piece of smoking history.

The tin shows rich patina and surface rust inside and out, adding character and authenticity. Perfect for collectors of tobacciana, advertising tins, or vintage packaging, and for display in retro or steampunk-inspired interiors.

📜 GNGV Paranormal Note:

Recovered from a Lancashire clearance, the tin bore a curious tale — said to “never stay shut” when left on a shelf at night, no matter how tightly it was pressed down. Whether coincidence, warping of age, or something stranger, it carries with it the aura of an everyday relic with a hint of the uncanny.

Condition:

Well-worn, with rusting and paint loss, but the lettering remains legible and bold. Sold as found, a genuine vintage piece.
