The Best Virginia is from the Apothecary Shop in Williamsburg, VA.
Hi Tab,

Where in darnation do you find these lots!

The Briggs caught my eye because it could have come from my shelf in the early 1980s. John Rolfe and Half and Half would have caught my eye (in the 1980s) for being a little different. John Cotton made no memory impact.

What are the markings on the tins, especially the John Cotton?
