Nice, is that a recent purchase.

Not one I've ever had a chance to get my mits on.

Lovely!

 Hilbert;
10 years ago these popped up every now and then for not much money .

I bought one from the UK back then and this one sometime later.

Times have certainly changed .

How long since you found a decent Tea sample tin at a fair ?
Perhaps in the UK , you are in with a chance , but not much hope in Australia .
Most of the good stuff changes hands with a phone call and the odd bit finds it way to ebay.

Found any more nib tins ?

I haven't been to a fair for a few years, they'd become a waste of time. Last 20 or so visits without a purchase. I figure ebay has dried them up, at least the places that I used to frequent.

I didn't find ebay soon enough to get in on the real bargins I guess.

Nib tins. I've stopped buying the british ones as I have 2 sets of the coloured ones. The sepia ones are harder to get. A nice cond. crickter just went for only £11, probably because I stopped bidding on them :) Rarely see the rounded corner ones that you've shown.

I'll still do a swappsy or what ever if you want some. Not sure you got my last mail back then.

Cheers
Hilbert

 I don't seem to see any of the Sepia ones , only got one ..Here's a pic of my lot

Wow, nice display. You've been busy eh, you have added to your nib tins since our last chat. Have you got a larger version of that pic you can email me?

I have a spare sepia footballer, could do a swap with one of your spares in the other set.

Cheers Hilbert

Boom!

 

Does anyone have one of these red Vi Cocoa sample tins for sale ?
