Once the tobacco manufactures got on the band wagon and started to commercially make cigarettes in large quantities one of the many types of marketing was in the form of “Flat Fifties” tins. These were flat tins with one layer of two rows of cigarettes with a total of 50 cigs, hence the nick name, “Flat Fifties”. This version has the nick name logo “Flat Fifties” added to the tin itself. After they dropped the green packaging for the white to support the WW2 war effort. Many other tobaccos manufactures switched to cardboard also for the war effort and were never seen again in tin packages.
