I did a search but didn't get a straight answer. The original Loring pages are gone, it appears. The Loring page I did find does not reference after 2000.

I bought some of these painted tins in 2006 but I believe they are older and may be Murray era. I'm guessing early 2000's. However, I also read that some of the old Murray tins continued to be used for a few years. The Dunhill name is in script, not the old style and the tin top says "Made in the UK..." The back says: " US Distributors Lane Limited, Tucker GA 30084"

Thanks for your help.IMG_5206.JPGIMG_5208.JPG

Made in the UK is Murray's and it's from the 1990's. If the bottom view is from the same tin at the top, it's interesting that the import label uses the term EU, suggesting that this tin dates pretty close to when the COM was changed from UK to EU. I can't remember the exact year, somewhere close to 1994?
