First Pick of 2016

#1

Post by Tinman »

Earlier this week I read in the local paper about a local auction claiming to be "Our 10th annual New Years spectacular". The newspaper listing just listed furniture, glassware etc. No pictures were posted on the web. So, today I donned my lucky hat and went to see what might surface..... Boy, was I surprised when I saw this sitting on a table. :shock: :shock:

When the auctioneer got to the table with the cone top can, the presenter picked up this group of "tins" and the bidding started at $5.00,

Two other bidders were sort of interested, but quickly dropped out. :smt026 :smt026

When I compared the new one with the one on my shelf, I noticed a bit of difference,
New one on left
New one on left
It seems the canning code is not on the new one and the border area where the mandatory looks like a different shade...Has anyone else seen this variation?

Thanks guys....Two of the tins were upgrades and I've been able to squeeze the honey tin onto the kitchen shelf....

Yea that shade around the mandatory is darker....now is just my eyes going buggy or do I see a faint canning code? :smt102 If it were a darker coat it may have obscured it.
OCC .... I think the difference you see is the tarnish.

Good eye Ivan, I took the can out into the daylight, used the magnifier and can see it now... I suspect a classic case of "day shift-night shift" on the printing line.. Oh well, good trader...

Ahh darn....my suspicions were right :smt012 ....a new variation would have been nice. One thing that peaks my curiosity though....why are those mandatory area's a different shade? did they used to say something different?....or is just from the process of how they were painted? :smt017
