[QUOTE="John B, post: 9275, member: 207"] Back in the day pretty much everyone extracted their own honey and sold at least some of it through gate sales. The regulations were a lot easier in those days. Unless you packed a lot of honey people tended to just use generic tins and sometimes pottles. At the time these tins were around we used to just use glue on labels and we also had to attach seals Levie stamps which came in sheets like postage stamps. If somebody wanted to post a five pound tin of honey overseas we would even solder the lid on in three spots with good old-fashioned lead solder. [/QUOTE]
