Re: Tiger flat top
It was made for a number of years from the 1960s until likely early 1970s. The dates for the cans are only estimates unless dates were written on the can or ads. Some cans were kept in flats until the early 70s- Long Life Tiger Bass etc.

Re: Tiger flat top
Between 1963 and 1965 Singapore was in confederation with Malaysia and there is a version of the Tiger flat top that has a lid stamp indicating Tiger flats at least date back to that period. As mentioned, this can design was remarkably stable well into the 1970s. Many of the later ones have "FOR EXPORT" stamped on the bottom lid.
