Wm. Vogel & Bros., tin makers A National Cigar Museum Exhibit © Tony Hyman http://cigarhistory.info/Tin_box_types/Vogel_tins.html  I have not as yet written the story of Wm. Vogel tinmakers, of Brooklyn, NY. In the interim, you might enjoy seeing the illustrations for the exhibit. Brooklyn’s Wm. Vogel & Bros. is best known for 1890’s sports themed tin boxes made in two colors, three sizes and five different images. Boxes were made for Chas. G. Wells & Co. and for Tower & Wells in Binghamton, NY, a major cigar city. Wells, at his peak, employed more than 100 rollers. Boxes most often carry the federal ID: Fact. 714, 21st Dist. NY. Wm. Vogel Tinware, 41 to 47 South 9th Street in Brooklyn, NY c1895 [2906] http://cigarhistory.info/Tin_box_types/Vogel_tins.html#0 ff4aa6bd-7c35-4d30-bd31-da56b8178fdc http://cigarhistory.info/Tin_box_types/Vogel_tins_files/Media/tin6/thumb.jpg http://cigarhistory.info/Tin_box_types/Vogel_tins_files/Media/tin6/micro.jpg <div style="padding: 0px; " class="image_cluster_layout_style_default_External_0_0"><div class="image_cluster_layout_style_default"><p style="padding-top: 0pt; " class="Caption"><span style="line-height: 12px; " class="style_7">Wm.
