Cheers, Owain. The tin's design did not change for the period Boer War to end WW1, but I don't know after that. There are some details and images here: https://talesfromthesupplydepot.blog/2015/06/02/the-soldiers-friend-metal-polish-tin/ According to the following it did not change in WW2 either: https://historysmc.pastperfectonline.com/webobject/C7EE970C-D41D-4E5D-90DC-876637000552 Edited 31 March , 2021 by FROGSMILE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o j kirby Posted 31 March , 2021 Author Share Posted 31 March , 2021 Hello, Thanks for the information. The only real difference I see from the links are mainly to the rear of the tin and that the WW2 example does not have the 3d price tag. Can we assume that the priced version is more likely to be contemporary to WW1? Thanks again, Owain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ypres1915 Posted 1 April , 2021 Share Posted 1 April , 2021 I believe the older tin had a paper label applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
