This tin is from The Confectionery House of New Broad Street in London, England, and its condition is excellent. Sure, there’s a few light scratches present, a not-tight knob on the removable lid, and a slight ding in the handle that doesn’t affect use or it’s display ability. But most striking about this one-of-a-kind tin is that a young lass names Robyn H. used to own it, and she was proud enough about her special tin that she scratched her name in it,. (See last photo). Made in England.
So Robyn, if you want your tin back, please contact me!
