This is a collectable little brass tin that dates to 1914.

It is commonly known as the Princess Mary tin.

The Princess Mary Gift Fund Box or Tin is an embossed brass box that originally contained a variety of items such as tobacco and chocolate. It was intended as a Christmas present to those serving at Christmas on the Western Front in 1914. The gift was paid for by a public fund backed by Princess Mary.

This one is an original antique issue and in good condition.

Sadly, the original contents are now long gone.

Tins with their original Christmas card, chocolates etc - often fetch three-figure sums.

This tin has been kept nice and polished over the years (no nasty spotting or verdigris) - there is one wee dent to the base, and one corner, as photographed - the interior is nice and clean. There are some very, very minor dings here and there but nothing disfiguring.

The tin measures approximately 5 1/2 inches x 4 inches and with a depth of 2 inches. The lid is hinged and remains closed.
