N/A. (N/A). 1. Good. Impressed details to bottom of tin for William Arnott Pty. Ltd., Homebush. The other details to lid and face are paper labels. Label to lid states Tea Cake amongst other details including that there is either a forty cent or four shilling deposit, which helps to date this to the time when currency conversion was occurring, that being 1966. Front label is intact, but not the best, it is stained with some fading to colours as well. Quite torn along the top with folds and so forth. Interesting tea cake tin, this held 4 1/4 Pounds of Tea Cake. 2. Some corrosion and discolouration. Some minor dints. Scratches and a bit of surface wear in places. Interesting military tin, I am guessing with the wording for British Empire that this is around World War 2 era. 3. Some spotty surface corrosion. Little dints here and there. Scratches and some wear. Both ends have had holes punched in them to allow the contents to breathe. Estimate: $20-40
