What year did Erinmore leave Ireland ?

[Tn Steve]

I have an old Erinmore Flake tin, made in Ireland. Just wondering how old that would make it, potentially.Sadly it is empty.

Wikipedia tells us that the Murrays Tobacco factory in Belfast (who made Erinmore) closed up shop January of 2005.

Hopefully somebody whos been around longer than me can confirm that or offer more info.

A few pics of the tin may help with getting closer to the exact year?

I will get some pics tomorrow, it is pretty old looking lol.Thanks for your help.
