a George VI Crest with a reference to the “late King” was used between 1954 and 1962; and an Elizabeth II Crest was used between 1963 and 1995.(note that the use of the Elizabeth II Crest comes a decade after her coronation).

  • Tins dating to World War II will have a small reference to war time packaging requirements.
  • Older tins from before the 1970s will be found with blue United States ‘Act of 1926’ tax stamps – adding ‘1829’ to the “Series” number on such stamps will give the approximate year of import, also the year of import will sometimes be stamped on the tax stamp.
  • Tins showing England or Great Britain as the country of origin date to 1980 or earlier (i.e. ‘in-house’ Dunhill production – note that not all tins prior to 1980 showed the country of origin).
  • Tins with words to the effect that the tobacco is blended ‘by Dunhill’ date to 1980 or earlier (i.e. ‘in-house’ Dunhill production. – note that not all tins prior to 1980 show that information).
