I bought this for the graphics. Was in my local thrift shop along with another tin which I will post separately. This is hinged and on the heavy side, so a quality piece of work.
27cm x 20cm x 7cm
Not too much information about Barratt's itself.

verrecheque, thanks for the link.
Manikin, valentino97 - I see many tins in my thrift shop travels, but not one as vintage or as nice as this one.
Classic 50's pinup girl Efes... love it!
Sweet!
Thanks, everybody! I am now using both tins to store jewelry - the stuff that's for sale is in the big tin and the stuff I want to list is in the smaller tin. Perfect.
Can I ask what your profile picture is or from ?
