New one coming to my home. Not too often you see "cheesecake" on a ribbon tin...

Was able to add a 3d. Carter's Guardian ribbon tin with the B-52 motif.

It took nearly 2 years to bring these 3 together.

Addendum...I think my 3rd. tin has B-17's for the airplanes.

You're building a beautiful collection, Pete!

But if you're keeping track of such things, it will help to know that all the aircraft in your last posting are more or less generic; the 3rd is definitely generic and not a B-17, the ones on the Carter's Guardian are definitely not B-52s and probably generic, and the ones on the all-blue tin are mostly B-52 but with a mash-up with the B-47 plus a few liberties.

I suppose you are just calling them this for your own reference but in the future when people are examining these like coins and stamps to determine values, these documented details will count. Cheers!

Another new in-coming to our home.

This one is unusual in that it has artwork on the bottom of the tin, as well.

And that the ribbon was offered in muslin fabric, as well. Muslin is cotton, but usually with a more loose weave.

And a more recent in-coming tin.

This one is just fun to look at....
