Vintage Alfred Dunhill "The Aperitif" Pipe Tobacco Tin,

Description

Pressed Steel tobacco tin, The Aperetif brand pipe tobacco, Alfred Dunhill, Ltd. of Lindon, England, 4-1/8” by 1".  Based upon information provided by a helpful soul, I have been corrected regarding the age of this tin - this is from the 1972-77 period.  A couple minor soft dents, some scratches and rust spots on the bottom, as well as light rust in spots in the inside however sound. All rust is light surface scale.  Some obvious wear to the paint finish as shown.
You can suggest an alternate value if you wish.
So what’s the deal here with a coin dealer selling old tins (or whatever)?
Well after many years running a coin shop, you wind up getting small accumulations & collections housed in just about anything, from Alka Seltzer bottles, to Crown Royal bags.
Quite a while back, I started to hang on to any unusual old tin or container that wandered in, for my “museum”.
After 30 years I find I have to move and need to cull the herd in order to reduce the pain of packing and moving all the “stuff”.
So I offer some of the more unusual items here to allow someone else to add these to their hoard hopefully!
