I remember my grandpa using Prince Albert. Each red tobacco tin is approximately 4.25x3x0.75” and has Prince Albert embossed on the bottom.
Three to choose from:
A: 1963 tin with tarnished lid and small dent.. [1960-1963 - In 1960, the opening instructions were changed to “push up.” Back stamp disappears, replaced by copy of the front image with “open other side,” printed in a white block below the lid. The net weight (1 5/8 oz) In 1963, the company’s zip code was added to the address listed on the left side of the tin.]
B: Late 1960s tin, some tarnish on the lid. ‘21t x’ is stamped on the back.[1964-1975 - Possibly around 1964, the labeled net weight changed from 1 5/8 oz to 1 ½ oz.]
C: 1970s tin has original grocery price (61 cents) on the front and the Alabama tobacco tax sticker on the bottom. Lid is rusted shut. [In approximately 1975, Universal Product Codes (UPCs) were added to the right side of tins]

This is the perfect reminder of a close cousin. We would make prank phone calls, growing up. “Do you have Prince Albert in a can?” was one of our go to’s. I love it! Thank you.
