Tin was very well kept. Although it still feels pliable, the PLASTIC LID HAS CRACKED almost in two, but is still pliable, and hangs on well (except the bulging lid pushing it out of alignment). Minimal shelf wear with just a few light mars on the label, and minimal rub at the contact points. Areas of light oxidation around the base perimeter. No tin cracking, etc. The teeny tiny little bulges on the underside of these tins is normal, and as they came from the factory ... no idea.
LID AND BOTTOM ARE BULGING OUT FROM BEAUTIFUL AGE EXPANSION!
Very nice and unique display piece as a whole, or ready to be cracked open and enjoyed!
