Zig-Zag tin

[Buddie11]

This was my find from today,three tins. 2 I can find info on,but the zig-zag has me stumped!!! It is not the best condition and missing the lid. I know zig-zag make very good papers,so I was told

Seems that they also process cigarette tobacco, have done for a number of years and are still around under the National Tobacco company

Google images has quite a few zig-zag tins and the colours and style have changed quite a few times, but I've found this which has the same label and colours, and seems to date from the 1940s - 1950's.

This also seems to be a good site to Bookmark for tins such as these

There is not much to know, the other two tins are mid 1950's, so I would think the Zig Zag would be around that time too. The advertising looks mid 1950's to early 1960's. The Zig Zag tin could probably bring $20 from someone who collects Zig Zag stuff, not being in the best shape. The other two tins could bring $10 to $15 each. These tins don't hold a lot of value but look nice in a collection either way. I have a few of those other two tins, but no Zig Zags!
