Condition:
Clear lid has discolored slightly from age, but remains crack-free, and it is still flexible and holds well on the can. Improper packing recently caused several sealed tins to have their metal lid seals breach for a portion around their perimeter. This is one of those tins. Otherwise, the metal lid still looks perfect and factory fresh. The item remains unopened and undisturbed ... but this tin is NO LONGER SEALED! Painted side has several little blemishes and a few wrinkle spots in the front area. Plated tin base is lightly discolored, with a few very small oxidation spots, and what appear to a few tiny pin-holes. Some finish loss around the base perimeter. Interior moisture levels are unknown, of course.

Very nice and unique display piece as a whole, or ready to be cracked open and enjoyed!
