Love it, but what a crazy brand name. Sounds like something the americans would come up with. Is it late 1800's?

 Hi Broadie,

That is unusual and nice. Have not come across "Bersons" or the brand name WACK' - EM ALL before and have briefly  checked my records and found a "Bersons" blend tobacco dated 1910 but no company info. Could be a retailer with brands manufactured for them. Don't often find them with enamel advertising. WACK'-EM All could be a cricket term. Anyway, it needs a bit more research. Will let you know if I find anything.

Wotta stunner!

Possibly the only example remaining in existence?

Wack-Em All Flake sounds like a winner to me!
I'd smoke it just for the name alone!
