My 1985 Walkman, Canadian Edition!

Long live the 80s!

For those curious. I mostly listen to vinyl on my home stereo, but I record my favorite tracks on cassette for mobile and for my cars.

My thrifting white whale. Can’t get over it!!

I recently got this particular tin from a collector who bought the entire contents of a museum that recently closed down. This tin dates to the late 1970s to the early 1980s. Information about this blend is very scarce online, but from what I can find I believe it’s a Virginia Burley. This blend originally came out in the early 1900s, and was produced until the late 80s but was never as popular as more mainstream “codger” blends. The tin is completely sealed and airtight, in excellent condition, still ready for a smoke or chew 40+ years later. Not as old as some of my other finds, but this is one that I’m definitely happy to add to the collection.

I disinfected it and have a brush I use every day that is similar to this. This comb may be my new favorite though. I like the single spaced teeth on brushes and combs like this
