- [American Can Company Tin Manufacturer](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/american-can-company-tin-manufacturer/) - American Can Company was formed in 1901 as a merger of many smaller competing firms into one large company that could cut costs with increased scale and lower competition, forming what would be known by many as the Tin-Can Trust. The Company was the dominant force in tin can manufacturing from its inception up until
- [Tobacco Tin Manufacturers](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/tobacco-tin-manufacturers/) - Now that we've covered a few different tobacco companies, I think its time to focus on the manufacturers and artists who created the tins themselves. While the tobacco companies were focused on producing popular tobacco, these can companies were producing very elegant and detailed lithography to help a brand stand out on the shelves. Collectors
- [Hasker & Marcuse Lithographers](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/hasker-marcuse-lithographers/) - Hasker & Marcuse: Out of Richmond, VA like Ilsley, Hasker & Marcuse did a great business providing tobacco tins for many of the tobacco producers around Virginia. The company wasn't formed until 1891, well after the likes of Ginna and Somers were well established. Hasker and Marcuse are well known for their excellent chromolithography as
- [S.A. Ilsley & Co. Lithographers](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/s-a-ilsley-co-lithographers/) - S.A. Ilsley & Co: Ilsley was featured somewhat in one of my previous posts about their humidor tins which were used not just by Cameron & Cameron, but can also be found for some other brands. Ilsley was based in Richmond, VA unlike Somers and Ginna who were in New York, but it was also
- [Ginna & Co. Lithographers](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/ginna-co-lithographers/) - Ginna & Company: Records are a little sketchy but I believe Ginna started producing tins in 1874 and is most well known for its intricate and elaborate 1-color lithography. These tins are often a base color on the tin in green, red, blue or other colors with black or grey laid over it. Ginna produced
- [Somers Brothers Lithographers](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/somers-brothers-lithographers/) - Somers Brothers: Somers Brothers was based out of Brooklyn, NY and operated starting in 1869 making metal tags for plug tobacco, and later moved into doing tins with a slightly different technique from many competitors at the time. Their business was later sold to American Can Co. and they were subsequently noted on tins as
- [Humidor Tins](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/humidor-tins/) - I recently acquired a huge lot of lunchbox tins, but in addition to those I also got some cool little humidor tins. These little guys are pretty neat and they have a dome lid that has a space to put a damp sponge. Once you were done with the tobacco that came with the tin
- [Lorillard Tobacco Company](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/lorillard-tobacco-company/) - The Lorillard Tobacco Company was one of the largest early producers of tobacco in the US and today is touted as the oldest as the oldest continuously operating tobacco company in America. Lorillard was founded in 1760 by Pierre Abraham Lorillard and by the late 1800s controlled a large portion of the American tobacco market
- [Prince Albert Tobacco Tins](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/prince-albert-tobacco-tins/) - It's quite likely that the most common tobacco tin you will see is the Prince Albert tin. While there aren't a whole lot of variations and any of these tins are going to be worth about $5. Still, it's a tin seen in almost every collection because even though they are common tins, they still
- [Tobacco Advertising and Baseball](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/tobacco-advertising-and-baseball/) - As tobacco companies found that promotions and advertising could have tremendous positive effects for their market share they began to test ever more expensive, elaborate, and sophisticated techniques to encourage the public to buy their products. By the 1880s-1890s baseball had already become the undisputed national past time. The game and its star players were
- [R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/r-j-reynolds-tobacco-company/) - R.J. Reynolds is still one of the largest tobacco companies around, but as early as the late 1800s the company was already a major player in the tobacco industry. The company was founded in 1875 when R.J. Reynolds himself moved to Winston-Salem, N.C. and opened a factory to produce chewing tobacco. Reynolds used new technologies
- [Types of Tobacco](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/types-of-tobacco/) - Tobacco tins carry all kinds of terms like plug-cut, cube-cut, cross-cut, roll-cut, crimp-cut, rubbed, and more. What do all of these terms mean and why would you advertise them? Prior to World War I, almost all tobacco consumed in America came as precut leaf that could be chewed or smoked by pipe or self-rolled cigarettes,
- [Lucky Strike Tobacco Tins](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/lucky-strike-tobacco-tins/) - As a follow up to my previous post about American Tobacco Company, I thought I'd do a post today on their most famous brand and the tins that are out there. Lucky Strike is a brand made famous through advertising, but it has a long history and precedes the cigarettes we know it as now.
- [The American Tobacco Company](http://www.antiquetobacco.com/the-american-tobacco-company/) - Today I'm going to start a small series of posts on tobacco manufacturers and where better to start than the biggest producer of them all, the American Tobacco Company. When James Duke started American Tobacco in 1890 by merging with several other producers, but Duke had been in the tobacco business since the 1870s where
