Hi Cabs,
Sorry for delay in replying but have been away. Your Lloyd's "Topsail" brand tin, looks to be in very good condition. With regards to the Lloyd's A1, I think as mentioned previously, that it coincided with the takeover of Lloyd's by Cope's in the early 1900s. The A1 brand was very popular with Lloyd's customers and as such was retained.
Brankston, your two H C Lloyd's (Exeter) are the first I have seen of this firm. I did read that both of the Lloyd;s companies had the Elephant & Castle as a trademark, but I can't see it on your tins?? Other brands of this company "Typsy Loo" - "Yacht Club" and "Exeter".
