Cousins Edwin Binney and C. Harold Smith, creators of Crayola crayons, first made their mark in American schools with An-Du-Septic, a dustless chalk. They introduced the innovation in 1902 — a year before the debut of crayons — and won a gold medal at the St. Louis World Exposition.

How can I find the age of a tin with the An-Du-Septic logo on it? I have just pruchased one on E-Bay, and there is no date, and the seller had no info about age. Is there a site where I could view tins from different years, and match mine to one of them, or something? thanks, sewcatty42@yahoo.com
