You are most welcome. I don't get much opportunity to discuss Naval matters these days.
As you can see it is easy to miss these dates and I only found out after owning the 1916 one for some time. You are right about the scarcity of these tins and the last one I found was at a boot sale and had had a miners helmet in it! I pointed out that in fact it was a Royal Navy cap tin, but he wouldn't have it. Even when I showed him that the lid wouldn't shut with its current contents in. Sadly it was a bit rich for me.
