How Old is this tin?

drallen201

Any ideas on how old this Capstan tin might be? As you can see from some of the scratches, this tin is pre-peal and stick label. I'm guessing mid 70's to mid 80's. Anyone else care to chime in?

That tin was available for B&M purchase in 2013. Today you can buy the empty tin for around $30 in one place and €8 in another.

Ah well, thought we had a real gem there. Just used to seeing stickers on tin I guess.

I tend to get excited when I find an old tin without a bar code. Then I know it's old enough to be considered a collectible. Well ... collectible by my standards, maybe not an actual antique dealer.

If I heard correctly on VTPL last Friday, Eric Stokkebye and others commented on the lifting of the labeling atrocities on pipe tobacco tins. 
Someone help me out and confirm, or clarify, and/or update...

The United States District Court for the District of Columbia recently issued an order vacating the health warning requirements for cigars and pipe tobacco set forth in 21 CFR §§ 1143.3 and 1143.5 and remanding the Final Deeming Rule’s warning requirements for cigars and pipe tobacco back to the Agency. See Order, Cigar Ass’n of Am. v. U.S. Food & Drug Admin., No. 1:16-cv-01460 (D.D.C. September 11, 2020). Although the requirement has been vacated, cigar and pipe tobacco firms may choose to voluntarily comply with these health warning provisions. FDA will continue to enforce the other requirements it was already enforcing for cigars and pipe tobacco under the FD&C Act and its implementing regulations, such as not selling these products to individuals under 21 years of age or marketing them as modified risk tobacco products without an FDA order.

The court’s order does not enjoin FDA from enforcing the health warning requirements for other product categories, including Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) products, hookah tobacco, and cigarette tobacco and roll-your-own tobacco products.

Tnx @motie2

Great news. Now I can add some of the newer tins to my collection. Once that warning label was plastered across the artwork, collecting the newer tins no longer held any interest for me.
