I have a certified aspirin cardboard container with the V in upper right hand corner. On the back it states because steel is needed for tanks, guns, planes and ships we have adopted this new victory package to help conserve metals needed for the war effort.. What were the dates this packaging was used, all during the War or just certain years.
