I have a tin with some writing on and would like to find out what it means. Someone said it meant Large Four but I have checked it out and it does not seem to be right.

It means large/big four. And, to read it properly, you should rotate the picture closewise by 90 degrees.

Yes: 大四 is short for 大學四年級, referring to the 4th year in a university undergraduate program. It could indicate the student ("senior"/"4th year undergrad") or the year ("senior year"/"4th year"), depending on context. But only in an undergrad program. What we call a "high school senior" in the US is usually 高三.

Also, depending on context, it could just mean "Big Four".

Context is king.

I was hoping that it would give me an idea of who made it or when it was made. Large/Big Four may just be a size mark used in manufacture so i'm none the wiser, but thank you for your replies.
