Have had this box a while researching the company name Gracey Bro's & Co whom I believe to be a retailer. It also, has Robinsons, Bristol in very small ink lettering on the label. My research showed that this was a large paper/labels manufacturing company from 1880 based in Bristol and assume they printed the label.

Liverpool docks imported tobacco from all parts of the world and had quite a few tobacco manufacturers apart from the well known ones such as Cope Bro's - Hignett Bro's - Richmond Cavendish - Clark & Sons and the most famous Ogden's.

I think this box is quite early and I like the label. Anyone come across this retailer before??
