and thanks to you, Monsiuer River City John! the bittke site has all my favorites and fascinating tin boxes;
whilst the Village tin ware site has most fascinating cigar and match tins! far more appropriate to a working stiff than the more popular silver plated items.

Actually, if you go to "Home" on the Village Tinsmith site and then page forward through their entire catalog, they do have lots of usable selections, such as a gun oil tins, a 1 oz. flask, medicine and Ether tins, etc. that could be quite useful too.
I have a soap tin and a cigar tin.
One thing I found on these crafted tin items, I had to take a fine file to corners and edges here and there to break down the sharpness.
Make them more 'user friendly', or at least RCJ-proof them.
