[QUOTE="monbla256, post: 284683, member: 2244"] I just checked out what you stated about the Murray tins vs Orlik and from the several Murray tins I still have with screws and such in 'em and even a couple of earlier Dunhil tins I took off the top to a current 965 top and was able to screw it down tightly on the two earlier tins. As specialised a shape as 50g vacum tins are, I would imagine that one or mabe two firms manufacture tins for ALL the blenders. I would imagine that over the last 3 decades much of the packaging of tobacco's has gotten quite generic . The only tins I know that this would not work with would be the British tins made and used when Brit 'bacs were sold in ounces not metric grams which would have been back in the 60's and back. I know that one discernable difference tin wise, btwn the Murray tins and the Orlik's is that the Murray tin tops were colored with a tan color background and the lettering was printed directly on the tin.(965 as well as the blues and reds used on other blends) was this way with ALL the Dunhill blends back then, but Orlik started using printed paper labels to be glued to the gold tins tops, That may be the difference you were refering to. :P [/QUOTE]
