Mayo's
Hi Scott (and all),
The lunchbox in the Mayo's ad from 1909 shows the brand was registered in 1878, just like the label painted onto your tin. Your tin is a different version. I've seen about 4 different versions of a Mayo's tin. Some are smaller, and could have held a card, perhaps. Some are probably older than the 1909 lunchbox. I have a couple of soft packs of Mayo's tobacco that could have held a card, I suppose. I have one unopened pack. It would be cool to compare notes on how the N300's were distributed in 1895, if anyone has other details.
