robsmyth Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 With contents...acid tablets, card and envelope. Maybe more beneath acid tablets !!!?? Seen all kinds of prices on these but am I being too bold at £130 posted ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strongman Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 Nice item this. Don’t see them with the contents very often. They were a gift for the troops in France in 1914. There were two boxes available- Smokers: embossed brass box, a pipe, an ounce of tobacco, a packet of cigarettes (20) in a distinctive yellow monogrammed wrapper and a tinder lighter. Non-Smokers: embossed brass box, a packet of acid tablets, a khaki writing case, paper and pencil. This is obviously the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I paid £5.00 each for four empty tins to give each of my grandchildren one on the hundred year anniversary. Surely they can't have gone up that much in 7 years.
