The middle one looks like a McClelland tin. I think I remember reading the first iteration of Mississippi River was made with McClelland virginias, and I'm guessing tinned by them. And there was bulk. Then things changed, no more bulk, and the tins disappeared from the shelves too. Then it came back and everybody complained it was not the same tobacco. I think this is when Sutliff started tinning it. Compare those tins to Sutliff tins....same thing.
Now, I'm no expert on the production timeline of MR, and I'm sure there are plenty here that are, so correct me if I'm wrong. But that is how I remember the story going...
