Collectable from the late 1800’s – pre Russian Revolution era. Brought here by my grandparents. No English so made and sold for the Russian market ( not a Russian product company that exported to the west). There is a trademark ( raised owl ) and some of the cryillic translates to a Russian factory in Moscow. Probably a cookie or candy container originally , translation is "Confectionary"  product – manufactured to repurpose as a kitchen counter container. This vintage tin box is 91/2” long 6 1/2:” wide and 6 ½ “ high. Box is in very good condition for something 100 years old with a lid that opens and close. Solid physical condition - no breaks/notable dents - all the seams remain tight - nice raised litho, good color retention - minor scuffs to edges - exterior print is all legible - rust appropriate to its age/longevity. Any major flaws will be shown in the images. Please see the pictures for the most accurate condition of the product.  If the ad is visible then tin is available. $110
