[QUOTE="Rusty, post: 103526, member: 1187"] The question is not so naive and it really does determine the blend inside. The second pic is definitely modern Orlik production (Denmark). It's the first tin pic that is interesting. The tin colours, shape, and, especially, the Euro 'e' symbol (package weight tolerance standard) suggest that the tin dates to the 80's or early 90's. Too bad you haven't got a pic of the tin lid edge. That would indicate whether it was Made in England or Made in Denmark. It could be either BAT (British American Tobacco) or Orlik production in that range of dates. I think it's unlikely to be Imperial Tobacco production because Imperial tins look a little different than that and they were labeled "Made in Scotland" in the 80's. It was also in the latter 80's that Imperial Tobacco closed the Glasgow plant too as part of their modernization efforts (that wasn't good for the blends!). BAT manufactured the Imperial brands in Liverpool for export, outside the UK, until 1990 when BAT outsourced manufacturing to Orlik. [url=http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/qym25a99/pdf]http://legacy.library.ucsf.edu/tid/qym25a99/pdf[/url] So it's tough to peg that first one but BAT or an early 90's Orlik tin. [/QUOTE]
