Hi Kjeld,
The "Ball of Beauty" tin is recorded as being first introduced in 1900 and manufactured by Godfrey Phillips UK Ltd. THis firm first started manufacturing in 1844, at 112, Commercial St, London E and at 6, Little Pearl St, E. It was no doubt aimed at the Chinese market both here and abroad. At the turn of the century Godfrey Phillips had controlling interest in 10 UK companies and manufactured both in Europe and in New Zealand.. It is a nice rare tin.
