It's a bit tatty. Looks better on the shelf.

I imported this one from the USA.
These pics don't do it justice it looks much less tatty in real life. It's really thin, like a five cigarettes tin.
3" x 2" x 1/2"

The Sunnyvale piano is a pencil sharpener, it is exactly the same size and shape as the Rowntree one, even down to the indentations that hold the end on.

Not sure if this is worthy, but I love the illustration, the striking colours and the small size.
I have another in better overall nick, but someone has scratched a small numeral on it.
I suspect it's not British, I think I imported them both from Europe.
2 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 5/8"

I haven't seen any of these on the site.
These are the only ones I've managed to get my hands on.
I've seen other dogs, horses, as well as boats and trains, there are military figures, Jellicoe and the like and I've seen two cartoon like animal versions, a mouse and a monkey.
Anyone got any sets?

The Queen Mary was made by Phillips of Amsterdam. Your Blue Cross sample is very nice. I' ve got one as well, but unfortunately not in anything like as good a condition as yours. |

Yes that makes sense, I remember now, they both came from Holland.
The Blue Cross was a lucky walk by on the way to the dentist. Got it for 50p. Best dentist visit yet. |

Five cigarette size.
The first tin I ever got got by buying tins I didn't want and swapping with a dealer.
Do any of those other beautiful lady cigarette tins come in 5 cigs size?

Very nice. Do you know how many there are in a set?
There are at least four dogs, as well as my scratchy thing I've seen your two and a bulldog. |

The one on the left is unbranded. I think it comes branded as Fry's sometimes.
Can't seem to get my hands on either of the Rowntree clocks.
