    Yet Another Collectable Pellet Tin Valuation Please.

    Hi all. This one is not -- nor will -- be for sale, as is part of my "keeper" collection, but can anyone help me age it, and give it a rough valuation guide please? It is 2/3rds full of its original .22 content . Many thanks. Atb: G.

    I don't know the answer, but here's a couple of observations.

    It says Germany, not West Germany, so it's either post 1990 re-unification, or it's pre-war.

    It doesn't say RWS, and they were added to the Dynamit Nobel group of companies in 1931.

    Thanks all. Had a p-m or two, too. The observation about not saying W. Germany made me think it an early 1990ish tin myself, so well spotted, but similarly, I have had two fellow collectors say 1970s, two say 1950s/60s, and two now say 1930s. The research plot doth thickeneth (which is half the fun ). Atvb: G.

    Cheers chaps. Have now had it dated beyond a shadow of a doubt at mid 1960s, and have had it given a value, as is, with 2/3rds of its original content at a tenner, so back in the presentation display box it goes, with the relevant info written on a dated slip of paper, and concealed inside it for prosperity . Many thanks to all who have helped. Atvb: G.
