  • Distinguishing Characteristics - Most Interesting About The Piece: An interesting antique tobacco tin in very good condition. It would make a great addition to your small box collection, tobacco tin collection, or tobacco/smoking related collection.

  • Condition: The tin is in good clean condition with no major problems. The hinged lid works great and closes tightly as it should. The tin has no breaks and no repairs. It has scratches, minor dings to the surface, and some minor color losses to the surface which can be seen in the photos. The only thing we see, is the fact that the box is difficult to open when closed and repeated attempts to open it resulted in the middle of the edge of the lid being raised a bit and some color loss at the corner of the lip under the lid due to friction by the lid. Be that as it may, the piece is still in very good condition and worthy of a spot in your collection. Please see photos for additional condition information.
