 Hi mel,

Your tin is in good condition but quite common and the blend was originallyt produced for Rev Dr John White in 1929. He introduced Stanley Baldwin (Prime Minister 1923/25 & 1935. It was he who suggested it be named "Presbyterian Mixture" which reflected his beliefs. The brand is still available today.
