Bought this Davy's tea sample tin from a very expensive antique shop the other day. Wasn't going to bother, but this made my week. Don't often get the quality to post much these days!

Nice find Al .. They don't turn up often . Good stuff

Hey Al .. Send me your email ... relics@iprimus.com.au

 Well ,that's a nice little tin , Chris .

Yes .. The detail and quality of the lithography on these early pictorial tins is amazing .
While the British examples are in my opinion of the highest quality , I have a few nice ones from Germany , France , Belgium , Holland  . The search continues .

One of the more difficult to find examples

 Unusual little tin . I would describe it as "quaint " with the elephant hauling the packages along . Different world now ,Chris .
