Step back into early 20th-century Americana with this Antique Prince Albert Crimp Cut Tobacco Tin, a timeless piece of advertising and tobacco history. Each tin measures approximately 3" x 4" x 7/8" thick, and features the iconic red design with Prince Albert’s portrait, originally used to hold Crimp Cut pipe and cigarette tobacco.

These vintage Prince Albert tins are empty and sold individually (3 available). Each piece remains in nice antique condition with only minor surface rust, retaining vivid graphics and embossed detailing that make it a standout display item.

The Prince Albert brand, introduced in the early 1900s, became famous not only for its tobacco but for its legendary joke — “Do you have Prince Albert in a can? Well, you’d better let him out!” — a staple of old-time humor that gives this collectible even more nostalgic charm.

Perfect for antique advertising collectors, rustic home décor displays, or vintage Americana enthusiasts, these tins bring a piece of U.S. history to your shelf.
