[BCMA] Dating antique product packaging

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Hello all,

Has anyone come across any helpful resources for dating product packaging such as spice tins, tobacco tins, cigar boxes, etc.? We have quite an extensive collection of product packaging at the Kilby Historic Site but are lacking approximate dates for most of them.

If you have any helpful tips or leads, please send them my way at cbrown at kilby.ca
Thank you!


Cheers,

Chelsea Brown (She/Her)
