• This is a less common oyster tin can (gallon size) in somewhere between very good to excellent condition considering its age. It is from Clayton Fulcher Seafood Co. out of Atlantic, North Carolina. It has great graphics on both sides of an oyster, sailboats, and a lighthouse.  The colors are bright and still have a nice shine. They are as bright as the day this tin was made.  This tin is shown in the Karsnitz's Oyster Can Guide Book on page 95. It has a North Carolina permit number of N.C. 8. There is not a zip code, so it was made before 1963.The storage instructions say "Keep Iced" so it was most likely made pre 1939 before refrigerators became a common household appliance. Unlike Virginia and Maryland, very few tins came from North Carolina making this one more collectable. If you already own this tin, consider upgrading to this one. It does not come up often in this condition. 

• The Diamond Shoals are a cluster of shifting, underwater sandbars that are located just off the coast of Cape Hatteras, but which extend for miles in varying directions, depending on the local currents. Virtually hidden beneath the waves and always changing formation and depth, the Diamond Shoals are estimated to be responsible for up to 600 shipwrecks along the Hatteras Island and Outer Banks shorelines, earning the region the grisly nickname of the "Graveyard of the Atlantic."

• I will be listing one or two tins per week with no reserve so please follow my auctions. I only ship to the lower 48 states. I never offer a Buy It Now price and I will never end an auction early so please do not ask. The buyer pays for shipping. I will use UPS and require a signature when delivered. I will pay for insurance for both of our protection. I will accept a return and issue a refund, but I must be contacted within 24 hours after it is delivered and only if I misrepresented or made an error in the listing. The buyer pays the return shipping cost and it must be returned in the same condition as it was received. Thank you for looking at my auction.
