Though virtually identical to the E254 Colgan's Chips issue, the E270 "Tin Tops" cards were inserted into tin canisters of Colgan's Mint Chips and Violet Chips.  The cards are considerably more scarce than the E254 issue, so much so that the entire set has yet to be checklisted as it is assumed that undiscovered subjects exist. Graded VG/EX 4, this example of Topsy Hartsel's card originates from the "Skydash" collection, a large find of prewar cards that surfaced some years ago on the Net54 message board and ultimately sold at auction.  That collection included a large find of more than 150 Tin Tops which were sold at auction in 2007.
