We love the annual Warren County, PA fair. It may me the nicest local fair we've ever been to. Since my wife is a top fan of the great Loretta Lynn, I had to put this vintage poster online of her 1989 concert there

Beautiful coffee tin from Jamestown, NY is coming up for auction locally today. The tins are not ultra rare, but this size, with lid, does not show up too often. The condition is good and the graphics are solid. Recent sales have been over $100 and coffee tins in general are hot on the collectibles market today.

It will be interesting to see what it sells for in auction...in it's hometown. I'm estimating it will sell for around $120...let's see!
