I am certain that what I found in Iowa at that time was Key and not Skoal Key. I was not aware that it had been rebranded as Skoal Key until I ran across it on the Northerner site. Came in cardboard can with metal top that had "United States Tobacco Company" in raised lettering. The label design looked like it could have easily been designed in the '40's or '50's. It is a real shame it is gone completely now.

Did it look like either of these? The one on the left was the original label from 1926 and the one on the right was from the fifties.

Have never seen the one on the left but the one on the right looks familiar. I just don't remember that much light blue and I really think the logo was different. Perhaps a '70's or 80's retro style label was made?

Olsongg, welcome to the forums! I would be happy to defer to your much more extensive experience with this. I'd bet you have far better info than my memories of 20+ years ago.

I might have extensive experience with KEY but my memory is not that good. I remember that it cost .40 cents a can in '66, and in the mid seventies I could
get a roll of 10 for 10$ from a guy I worked with who ran a convience/gas store. What the cans looked like through the years, I don't remember......

I know exactly what you mean. Aging is great for wine, cheese, and some pipe tobaccos but I'm rapidly finding it's lousy for memory and mine wasn't that good to begin with.
