atc takes control of Pattersons tobacco brand 1905.................

Based on others I've seen I would say 1920's. Not 1910-15.

Here is the 2 I have. I believe the rusty one is the same as the picture and the tin is curved. The other with the tax stamp I swear is from the teens but could be wrong. The date used to be there.

andrew - your tin with stamp is from 1950. The other only god knows :-) There are two threads to consider - the "for pipe" "for pipe or cigarette" (CRS whatever the third one was) as mentioned above. The other is to determine the progression that would have followed when ATC took over the brand by examining the verbiage - atc, Patterson's atc successor, patterson's under the ATC brand (there could be more). Ted - you never responded about whether your tin is curved or not. It may become important (as if any of this minutia is really important - but it gives me an excuse to not do what I should be doing). In any event - as time permits I will keep looking and thinking. I couldn't find where the ATC retained the brand after 1914 split YET..........

If I could see the different warning labels - that might help although the warning only changed a few times over a longish span of years. Also the background color and images used changed over time - all food for thought...........

Ted your tin is probably post 1914 based on the front image - but don't throw it away as I'm still working on it...........
