I have encountered several flat oblong sardine tins embossed on the base 
with "Norvege", and at least one with "Norvege / Norway."  Does anyone know 
why the French version of Norway, rather than "Norge" appears on these 
cans?  The general date period for the can is c. 1919 to c. 1935, when, 
according to the Kovels, "Norge" was changed to "Norway" on ceramics.
