I found this tin at a local B&M yesterday. It's definitely got some age on it but I'm not sure how to pinpoint it to a year, if that's even possible. The tin has very slight pitting/rust (not enough to damage the contents I think), the pictured back label is quite yellowed, and the front label is an off white/beige unlike the newer white labeled tins.

So sleuths, does anyone have any info or suggestions as to how to figure out how old this is? For what it's worth, this was purchased form Faders in Towson MD. I'm thinking I may call and ask if the code on the price tag could offer any clue.
