Here is an interesting little antique Victorian tin made to contain "Hooper's Cachou Aromatise, London Bridge" pills to sweeten the breathe. The tin is made from gilt metal with the wording raised from the background. There is a small tab which would slide to release the cachous (although the tin is now empty), I'm not sure if this still works as it is difficult to grasp, it may originally have had a small additional upright tab. The back of the tin has a turned type pattern, with no wording. The tin is in good condition apart from the possible missing tiny tab mentioned above. This would make a super addition to a collection of vanity or chemist items. The tin measures 1.5 inches (3.75 cm) in diameter. PLEASE NOTE: Normally I always send items via Signed For insured services for peace of mind to all parties. However, as this is a relatively low value item, I am willing to send by non-insured standard airmail on request, but this will be at buyer's risk of loss or non delivery – I always obtain a posting receipt. Please choose your preferred method of delivery at checkout. SALES INFORMATION We often photograph our items in an appropriate setting to give more of an idea of how the items might look when displayed. The actual item for sale will be the main item in the photograph and, unless otherwise stated, the sale is for the item described only (i.e. not inclusive of any background items used in the pictures) PAYMENT : Paypal for overseas bidders please. UK bidders also may use a cheque drawn on a UK bank or send a postal order. Please send payment within ten days of auction end, or if you are likely to be away etc. please contact me to let me know. POSTAGE : Our postage charges are estimated to the best of our ability before the item is packed for shipping based on actual Royal Mail price charts. Therefore, if the actual shipping charge should prove to be significantly less, we will refund the difference in postage back to you via Paypal. We always use Signed For or Insured services (unless you choose otherwise on smaller value items). Although these do cost a little more, they offer better service and protection for items, so are worth the extra cost in case of any problems. I will combine postage for multiple items, provided they can be safely packed together. The Worldwide postage quoted applies to most destinations, however, European countries are often cheaper, so please ask for the postage cost to your European country if you want further clarification. NON UK BIDDERS : In theory we are happy to ship most items overseas, but those which are large and/or heavy can be very expensive via UK shipping channels. If you wish to bid from overseas and do not see a postage price for your destination in the listing, please contact us and we will send a shipping estimate. Items are priced for postage by Volumetric Weight : height x width x length. Please also note that your local customs office may levy an import duty, which you will need to pay.
