I just bought it. It mystifies me that American snus existed during World War II! Perhaps some day it will have some use, whether in a museum or photographed for a book on snus. You just never know...

Right on! If your interested in old tins, heres another one from 1886.

Huge emigration of Swedes here last century. Something like 25% of the Swedish population emigrated.

When more than one million Swedes emigrated over the Atlantic between 1846 and 1930, they brought Swedish tradition with them, including snus usage. In one Swedish-American district it was so common to take snus that American’s started calling the main street Snus Boulevard. Snus had become one of the Swedish people’s characteristics.
