Thank you

the tins were as for the size of a 20 cigarette tin - they did have a choice of butterscotch or, cigarettes.

The tins were stamped and coloured with a silhouette of the President and his wife. Field Marshall Smuts and Mrs.Smuts.

Each year had it's date and in the left side was the National Emblem - a Springbok - with-in a 'V' for victory.

They were held in great regard and were universally known as Ouma and Oupa. The Afrikaans for Grandma and

Grandpa.
