I guess I'll ask the obvious what did the people at Paul's say about it?
Dan Spaniola joked about it being older than he was.
Is that a sealed tin? Nice find sir.

I have no idea on an age, but I am getting 1970s vibes from it for whatever reason.
It was sealed. Dan popped it to make sure that it wasn't dried out. They had two more sitting on the shelf.
Any tax stamp on it?
Nope.

Paul's is a gold mine for this sort of stuff. Want some Sail Red, discontinued heaven knows how long ago? There's a couple of canisters sitting on the shelf. Want Medicos, Yello-bowls, Grabows? There's old display cards on the wall.
There's no fancy smoking lounge, just a few straight chairs along the wall.
The sticker on it said $25.50, and that's what I paid.
