Too long to write out here, so please see pic.
Condition:
Clear lid has discolored from age, and has cracked nearly in two, but is still flexible. Pull-away metal lid is still perfect and factory fresh looking, but there is a little oxi stain underneath the pull tab, not able to be wiped away without pulling the tab! Painted side has little tiny blemishes throughout. Unplated tin base is discolored and littered with small oxidation spots, as well as around the perimeter there. Interior moisture levels are unknown, of course.
Very nice and unique display piece as a whole, or ready to be cracked open and enjoyed!
