Has anybody any idea about these? What came in them, if anything? They're cans, obviously, but they're attached to a box about the size of a shoe box.

I'd try holding onto the cans while you jam stuff in the boxes

Are thise from that sporting good store you were talking about?

Don's in a junk store

Antiquing your new hobby?

No, none of that is correct. I'm not a junk dealer now nor am I into antiquing. I put up ads on facebook pages and some local websites saying I buy old decoys, calls and waterfowl related items. I'm not a decoy trader any further than google and ebay take me. I put up an ad, a lady responded with these. She wants $10 each. They appear to be quality and hand carved, because they're not identical. At least at first glance they were not. I just don't have a use for them, but if they're somewhat relevant in some way, I'd buy them and toss them in my attic. I might buy them just to make an interesting box for a Christmas gift. I didn't know if a bottle of Jack Daniels with the DU logo came in them or if they were an AVON product. My buddy got a super nice scene of the last supper, he thought it was an antique. It turned out to be made by Avon, the makeup company. I don't want makeup canvasbacks.

For $10, I think an AVON product would be ok. Even if you throw spare change in them...

I think this is where something clever about tapatalk should go.

you should send a PM to GKR who is a junk dealer, and knows more about old decoys etc than most.

For $10 apiece they're kinda cool. I'd pick em up and find a spot for em regardless of what came in em

Don, west coast decoy collectors group in facebook should be able to fill you in in details of them.

Kind of look like humidor size. Someone over at workingdecoys might know something about them

This similar to them?

Similar, but not in size. These are about 10 inches long and 6 inches wide.

West coast decoy collectors yeilded a response about shoe store displays and dog urns. I'm going to assume neither of those are correct.
