Hi Ken,
We did do a piece on ths brand a few years back but unable to find it in the archives, It is recorded as first introduced in 1900 by the firm Godfrey Philips Ltd who were founded in 1844 at 112, Commercila St, and 6, Little Pearl St, E. This company between 1900 and 1910, were affiliated to at least 20 UK companies manufacturing abroad and a factory in New Zealand. The brand name implies to me that it was manufactured for the upper-classes and sold in packets with a Bamboo Mouthpiece. Your counter-tin looks in very good condition
