well
I'd have to do some serious legwork to follow the progression from "pipe" to "special preparation" to "pipe and cigarette" - it will be difficult to find specific dates without a company history HOWEVER suggest as food for thought that your tin is listed as the american tobacco company and that the one in your adv. lists petterson's along with ATC successor. I'm sure you are well versed in the ATC breakup due to your love of the ubiquitous T206's :-) BTW - I can't tell if your example is curved. There were many different configurations and evolutions of the tin - without an obsessed "rag rat" (I made that up) who can assemble a timeline through advertisements (early magazine ads are great for this) - gonna be a tough task Ted. I'll browse a tin book or two for ya when time permits.............
