tobacco tin finds

Not a find, but definitely an old coin storage tin. My grandma kept old and foreign coins in this tin. She gave it to me when I was little. She died in 1966.
I also got a newer Prince Albert can with coins in it. Tobacco tins must have been mouseproof and rainproof storage back then.
