i found a 3 merry widows condom tin at an old dump. i haven't been able to find much info on them or their value. i have noted one difference between mine and those i have seen on the internet. mine does not have the names of the widows on it. everything else is identical however. anyone have any info on these or if the difference has an effect on value?

Antique Questions Forum / Three Flowers tin

« on: September 26, 2005, 11:39:41 am »

I recently found a tin about the size of a 50 cent piece while digging for bottles. it is about an inch and a half deep and says three flowers, richard hudnut, new york on the side by the hinge. it has a small mirror inside on the lid and is kind of a goldish colored metal. the outside markings are small lines on the top and bottom with small circle marks here and there. also on the top lid in the upper left hand corner there is a larger circle with a slightley smaller circle inside. it has three small lines that connect the two circles where N, S, E, W would be on a compass. does anyone have any idea on what exactly it is and what it may be worth?
