The Briggs caught my eye because it could have come from my shelf in the early 1980s. John Rolfe and Half and Half would have caught my eye (in the 1980s) for being a little different. John Cotton made no memory impact.

What are the markings on the tins, especially the John Cotton?

It was an auction listing on Ebay that included some old cigar boxes and tobacco tins. What sparked my interest was that the description said that the larger tins hadn't been opened. The John Cotton tin has a sticker on the bottom that says:

U.S. Distributors
James B. Russell, Inc.
25 Parkway,
Upper Saddle River,
New Jersey 07458
U.S.A.

On the side of the John Cotton tin it says:
John Cotton Ltd., 34 Burlington Arcade, London W1V9AD
200 g net weight 7 oz e
Made in the United Kingdom
