Some of you fellers may have all of these, but the missus brought the oceanic and nightcap tins home yesterday for me, and we tripped over the other four today. I was thrilled to find a velvet "fathers day" can. I've got the Christmas Granger can, and love all the holiday editions... Fathers day tin has medals all around, a fathers day, June 20 on the bottom, and a medal that says "world's greatest dad". all of these will be welcome additions. and the nightcap tin is pretty old, nearly full, and freaked out the missus when I opened it and it smelled mightily of "campfire", LOL.

When we moved to this place, we had a place to the side of the fireplace that screamed out for built-ins or a display of some kind... We went to the amish furniture place and spec'd out a huge display. thing is 9 foot tall, sliders above and below... Half my tobacco/pipe stuff, and half the missus' glassware and planters...

I'll try to get a pic and post...

Your wife's stuff is in there and the ratio of contents in the beast vs the mantle seems a little unfair. Lol
