Help dating an old Dunhill flake tin.

[danz]

Hey guys,
Recently purchased this off of the local "ebay" as an "Old tin of tobacco", but considering the tin design it is not very old but still unusual as I never new there was Dunhill that was made here in New Zealand.

Just wondering if any experts/enthusiasts here could give me a ballpark age on this tin.

I am guessing around 25~ish years.
Thanks.

All I can tell you is it's probably pre-1990-ish as that's when the royal crest was deleted from the label on UK tins. Past that, I can't find much on the Dunhill NZ production. Looks like a cool tin though.

John Loring has pages listed on how to date Dunhill tins and tobaccos on his website if you wish to do some research. However I don't believe anything as current as this tin would be included. Captainsousie is right on the Royal Crest statement, pre '90's
