Ag Museum Curator Seeks Antique Honey Tins from Maritimes

CdnAgriMuseumDo you happen to have a collection of old New Brunswick (or Nova Scotia) honey tins stashed away in your attic, barn loft, or honey house?

If so, would you be willing to loan one of them to the Canada Agriculture Museum?

I am looking for an antique or vintage honey tin from the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia for an exhibit on beekeeping in Canada "Taking Care of Beezness" that I am curating at the Canada Agriculture Museum in Ottawa. The gist of the concept is to have a tin from each of the provinces to make the point that beekeeping is practiced accross the country. The exhibit opens in March 2010 so I am beginning to feel worried that those two provinces's beekeepers will not be represented. Please e-mail me if you can help!

Thank you;

Franz
