Pete, I think the stylized antelope tin (top row in your fist photo) is really striking. Is there any information on the back of the container?

Hi Uwe,

No markings or "ghosts" of any. 

Just a tad of glue and pieces of a very small price tag on the back.

I don't know anything about ribbon tins, but it appears that this one at least might have been sold wholesale for use by anyone - anyone in this case being a repair shop that rubber stamped its details on the back.  

I wonder if someone who collects these things has a catalog from a tin manufacturer that showed all of its available motifs?

Stone the crows... when I said I admired the antelope, I certainly didn't expect a herd of them! Looks like precision work wasn't something that the person stamping these tins was ever accused of...

Not quite in stunning condition, but still very good.

I have been looking for one for over 1 year.  They do not show up too often.

I did not win this on on eBay...but it is nice to know another Carter's "Guardian" tin with the Bomber-motif exists and shows up from time to time.

This one flew past my max. and hammered down at $ 46 + S&H on top of that.

My tins with an American Indian motif.

Note the Copper Chief tin even has a very small version of "Goddess Diana" at the lower part of its art-work.
