Interesting sweets tin

[Garth Thompson]

Found this nice little dated sweets tin and inside was the modified 1/2 Crown and the button that reputtedly served as a crude compass. The seller thought they were escape and evasion items, the half crown and button that is. Any thoughts welcome.

Interesting Sweets Tin

Very nice find Garth and you are right about the Escape and Evasion items. I especially like the Half-Crown. Regards, Clive.

Great little item

The tin itself is one of the slightly harder ones to find.

I knew that it would appeal to you Clive

Cheers, Ade.
