 Great image,nice showcard Bottle Man...Love the reg plate on the old bill bike..

 Hi Bottleman,

That "Luntin" mixture showcard is very nice. Manufactured by Thompson & Porteus Ltd, founded in 1854 and based  at 105-109, Leith St, Edinburgh. They had a huge selection of pipe-tobacco and the "Luntin" mixsture brand was introduced in 1900 and available up to 1965 when it was withdrawn. They also did a "Luntin" cigarette. They were taken over by Godfrey Philips in 1926. Have posted my "Luntin Mixture" tin.
