Lot 147.  August Beck “Yum Yum” Smoking Tobacco Tin. From the company that issued the obscure baseball cards, apparently in 1888. This tin canister stands 6” tall and is 5” in diameter.

Lot 148.  Early 20th Century Helmar Cigarettes Box. Helmar packaged everything from non-sport cards to baseball stamps with its cigarettes. This two-piece box is very colorful and features a classic look with an Egyptian theme. G-vg. Winning Bid $10.

Lot 149.  1912 Recruit Little Cigar Box for T207 Brown Background Tobacco Cards. This box likely held a T207 card issued with a Recruit back in 1912. From Factory 606 in Baltimore. The box has a moderate area of paper loss on the front and back. The insert tray has the end flaps removed. A very nice collector example. Winning Bid $30.
