These never seem to have a good coat of ink. Always look a bit matt.

Just being a little self deprecating perhaps, but there's nothing especially impressive here is all I mean.

It's been so quite on the tin front, just wanted to post something.

 Good to see some one posting on here 
Might be time to show us another look at some of your tea samples  

Relics, my tins, along with most of my possessions, have been packed away for sometime now. Waiting for our builders to finally finish and F off.

I've just looked through your sample thread again. You've got more doubles than I have tins in my whole collection.

I reckon you should stick your doubles on ebay, you could kick-start the market. :)

Al, yes I really like it too. In fact I recently bought it and then realised I've already got one.

It's nicely printed on the back as well.

 What's the Perry and co ? 
Is that the nib tin with the warship on it
 

Oh ..I just looked back on the pics .. Nice tin . Is there another Perry with the warship on ?

Relics, yes there is Perry tin with a warship. Perry put out some desirable tins. There's a lovely one posted on here by Kennett at the beginning of the year.
