The colorful design features a romantic carriage scene and tin is proudly labeled Helen Harrison's Home Made Candy. This original piece is perfect for adding a touch of nostalgia to any collection or for use as a decorative piece in any room of the house. The tin is in great vintage shape and ready to be displayed or added to your collection.

CONDITION: In acceptable vintage or pre-loved condition - perfectly imperfect for that unmistakeable vintage look. There is wear, discoloration, dents, scratches, imperfections, old tape or sticker remnants, etc - but remains beautiful and functional. I have not cleaned this in at all - a little paste wax may do wonders, if you feel inclined. Time worn finish only use and use can provide - but has lots of life left in it. Opens and closes well and hinges function like the day it was made. In an excellent state of preservation.

Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Especially if obvious and/or prominent in the photos. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an important integral part and extension of the description.
