Comments: This is a British design classic that first appeared in the late Victorian
era. Such nautical themes were very popular in tobacco advertising,
and this tin features the famous "HMS Hero" sailor framed by a
lifebelt set against the sun going down on the horizon. This is a
rarer Canadian variant from around 1925.
