Measuring 7 inches high x 5 ¾ inches wide, the condition of the tin is very fine, sporting a superb lithograph that, on one side, has just a few very minor and superficial scratches and early paper bits—remnants of the original green paper Federal Tobacco Seal---that are adhered to the surface (as seen in photos). The other side has seen more shelf exposure and thus has greater surface blemishing as seen in photos. The tobacco tin also retains its original bail handle and tin lid. (Please disregard any areas of the tin that appear to be lighter than others; this is due to lighting conditions and surface reflections only. The orange color is uniform and even throughout the surface area of this tin.) Some very, very superficial rust is noted along the base of the tin with no impact on structural integrity.

The American Tobacco Company changed the name of its product to BIGGER HAIR tobacco in the late 1920’s when the previous moniker became less socially acceptable. At that time, the material out of which the tobacco container was constructed was changed from tin to heavy cardboard.
