Strane BSA pellet tin at the bootsale...

[johnbaz]

hey up all

one for the pellet tin collectors here...
i was going round my local carboot sale this morning and came across this strange pylarm tin

>>>Strange pellet tin<<<

>>>t'uther side<<<

now i've never seen a pellet tin the likes of this one in over half a century, can anyone say (or even hazard a guess) as to how these would have been originally obtained???

i've never seen them in the shops so possibly they could have been complimentary, possibly when a BSA product was returned for repair or something similar??????


regards, john..

pS, i bought the tin from the same lady that i bought some from last week, her hubby used to have a shop somewhere..
these were last weeks haul...

Its just a guess, but from the typeface used and the fact it is aluminium, not plastic I would have thought late sixties early seventies. Someone on here will know for sure. I had a Meteor new in 1983 that came with the same size container, but it was clear plastic.

Thats some car boot....pity there arn't any round here with bargains like that...I would go with what Scott said...or maybe a salesmans/reps "sample"..?

You are getting a nice collection there John..

I have a similar 'Pylarm' screw top aluminium tube, also in .22, but have no idea how it was issued.
I've looked through several old BSA advertisements, and they all show plastic tubes of pellets in the boxes.
