The British-Australasian Tobacco Company Limited was an Australian tobacco manufacturer[1] with offices in Sydney and Melbourne.[2][3][4]

The company was formed by a merger of the Dixson Tobacco Company Limited and William Cameron Brothers and Company Proprietary.[3][5] Sir William Dixson was company director from 1903-1908.[3]

The company seems to have still been operating under this name in 1942 but later became part of the WD & HO Mills (Australia) Group.[6]

[edit]

The tobacco tins constructed from tin plated thin rolled steel produced by the British-Australasian Tobacco Company are now collectable items.[7]
