I know this may seem ridiculous being that different charity shops have different things but... Like any other English cities their is a large amount of charity shops in Carlisle and I'm thinking about looking around them all, mainly for Tobacco tins. Is this something that you've seen in your local charity shops? I know my Gran used to keep some just for storing things in so I'm unsure how common it would be for people to bring them in.
Stuff turns up everywhere. I know of a £2,300 diamond clasp that was bought in a London charity shop for £3. This week I saw a £200 silver dish that was bought in a wimbledon charity shop for £35 !! not me I never go in them ! So in answer to your question look ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE cos you never know where stuff will turn up . Failing that follow Banjo Boy cos he could find snow in the Sahara desert !! Lummox
