    Help dating a tin of Half and Half

    So, I was at an antique store today and they had some old tobacco tins.
    I'm not a collector of tins but was looking at them and noticed a tin of Half and Half was substantially heavier than the rest of them.
    The thing is unopened.
    It has a key attached to the bottom of the tin to open it, and the top and bottom are slightly bulged so it is obviously still airtight.
    It was only $5 so I bought it. I plan to open it and see what kind of condition it is in, but want to do some research first and see about when it was made. I can't find anything on it. There is not a barcode on the tin, so that's good.

    Here is what it looks like, though this tin is in better condition than the one I bought.
    What do y'all think?

    I'd say go for it. It was sealed, and should be good. Like my Uncle Joey always said: "Take a chance, Columbus did."

    I'm definitely going to open it up and try it if it still looks and smells good.
    I'm trying to gather as much info as I can before opening, because I think I'll film a video of it for Youtube.

    I do not expect it to be anything spectacular, but it should be a super smooth smoke.
