Help date this tin

My limited research tells me this tin could be from late 1970’s to early 1990’s. If anyone can narrow it down it would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Are you covering a barcode with your finger?

Not really, just a price tag recently put on the tin.

Barcodes became obligatory in the US market in 1984. They existed long before that, but all products in the US were mandated to have them in 84.

I have some tins that are single and ready to mingle. Wanna get em' together and see what happens. I can't guarantee they'll end up dating but we'll see what happens.

Sticker prices can sometimes be helpful. What's the amount?

 

[Steddy]

The sticker price/barcode is $105.00. It was put on the tin recently by the reseller. Thanks y’all.

I will add that from what I can tell the transition from 2 oz to 1 3/4 oz (aka 50g) took place about 1977, so your tin dates from no earlier than that year.
