Wisconsin woman has Prince Albert in a wall
STEVENS POINT, Wis. — It’s a classic prank phone call that references a tobacco product: “Do you have Prince Albert in a can? You do? Well, you’d better let him out.”
As it turns out, one Wisconsin woman had Prince Albert in a wall.
Jenn Lang of Stevens Point was recently renovating her 130-year-old home. A WSAW-TV report says she found 88 cans of Prince Albert tobacco stashed in her dining-room wall.
The cans date back to the World War I era. Most are in excellent condition, and many still have the original seal and contents.
She says antique appraisers tell her each is worth $10 to $15. She plans to keep a few and sell the rest.
Lang says she’s intrigued about what else might be hidden in other walls.
