I have found none of this particular brand of box for sale on the internet, however what I did find made an interesting read, as a very famous artist known as Scottie Wilson 1889-1972, stored his 'Bulldog' pen in a very similar box which is curently at the Tate gallery.

This would be his pen he first started drawing with.

This particular tobacco box is completely non-related to Scottie Wilson the artist but it is all I could find on this particular brand of tobacco which helped me pin a manufacturing date for it.

So I believe this box to be rare and a great talking point if it's on display somewhere. I love the honesty and romance of the box a sign of the times.
