For any ephemera buffs, these two "twins" were handy:

Anyone care to post pics of theirs?

Greg,
I like the twins. That realy ties the companies together.

I have a S. W. and will check the movement number tomorrow.

Triplets (sort of):

Aurora grade no. 3 1/2;
Columbus grade no. 35;
Lancaster grade no. 35.

I find these tins neat, but they are also useful for the data they provide regarding serial number/grade correlations.

I'd enjoy seeing any tins that other members might care to share.

I like the movement holders too, but have all mine packed away for the upcoming move.

One of the tins is from the Beeton Watch Co. Ltd.. Has anybody heard of this cpmpany? I sent the picture to Howard to post.

Henry,

Neat tin and a tough Company to find. I once stumbled across a US Waltham tin in St, Joe, Mo., years ago.

[harold]

I going to try it again. Here are the tins.

Harold,

Neat group. Seth Thomas tins are also hard to locate.

I don't know who Beeton was.

I bought a dial off eBay and the vendor was kind enough to send the dial in this nice tin. I did a search of the supply house Meyer and found this to be an old supply house in Kansas City. Nice present on top of a nice dial.

Tin from "Standard Watch Crystal Co."

Ansonia Bee Shipping Tin - While this is a clock shipping tin, I thought it would be of interest to tin collectors. Also if somebody has some recommendations on how to protect the Paint from getting worse, I would appreciate learning how? Should shellac be used to protect the tin?

Greg I have several Shipper Tins and what is interesting is what you might find when you open them up, the Royal 8 size ladies has a corner of what appears to be Chicago Rock Island Railroad ticket punched out Dec. 1882 and the other looks to be a regular Waltham Shipper with a extra protective cover and 2 Watch papers.

Here are a couple of New York Standard "tins" (actually cardboard).

Neat stuff!

One better than twins is triplets. Here's a set of non-identical ones:

Found 2 Elgin parts shipping tins. Bought some stuff from the former Managing Director of Elgin in Canada.
