Is this a competition?
I guess

16, 1974
15, 1986
14, 1980
Its just a guess though, what do I win?
Can anyone date the Webley pellet tins pictured below for me?

Hi Harvey,
12: 1950s
16: late 60s to late 70s
15: Late tos to mid 80s
14: Late 70s to mid 80s
Kind Regards,
John
Hi Harvey......
12......is 1957/58/59....(address change from weaman street) to mid 60's although more remote shops, old stock around into the very early 70's as I remember buying some
16...late 60's to early/mid 70's (as I remember)
The others...as per John' reply but not sure which one was first.....I think 15.......if so you have them in the correct order
The first one, if addressed weaman street, and "air rifle" instead of "rifles" is an earlier tin from the mid/late 1920's up to the move around 1958..

You can also get clues from the tokens inside if still there, the oblong yellow ones, and square white ones had a print year code on...I have a voucher from the red label tin with "handsworth b21 8lu", so you can date from this sometimes. pylarm pellets used to have packing slips inside with the packing date which made things easier!
...if you're at Jim's on Sunday remind me to "fart in your general direction" for being such a geek
Thanks guys....
