Hey Folks
I’m trying to get a rough idea about the age of a tin of Rattray’s Professional Mixture.
The tin and plastic lid show some age, the pop top has a gold tint to it, sticker says made in Germany and has both oz and grams listed.
I’m thinking it is probably from the first decade of the 2000’s or the early 20 teens- does that sound right? Any hep will be appreciated
Thanks D4C1DA84-E2D2-474F-B861-FDB85EBCFB1C.jpegA020E76E-F20A-4945-B812-E686EA89E9FC.jpeg4AA9365E-2AF1-45CD-9B01-0EC353025A75.jpegFC890137-FCE7-4498-A9A8-5F8A575A9DB1.jpegEEF85E12-A36B-429E-BA69-5E0BB706519E.jpeg

I think Arango took over the distributorship after XYZ Imports, though I may me mistaken about that. So it may not have been immediately after the McConnell purchase in the late 80s.
