Origin[]

A tin box, or tin for short, is a metal container with a re-closeable lid. Despite its name, a tin box seldom involves more tin than a thin plated layer whose purpose is to inhibit corrosion.

Modern tin boxes have been used to hold items such as breath mints, throat lozenges, instant coffee, cocoa and even CD-ROMs for an internet service provider. In the past even more products were stored in tins, many highly decorated. Businesses tried to encourage the re-use of tins they provided, with the effect of the tins advertising them. One common use of the tin was as a children's lunchbox and in the UK as biscuit tins.

Today[]

Mr. Stall came across the tin at a little stand during a farmer's market who sold some interesting items. The person told him that the original owner seemed to always have a good bit of luck, but it seemed that he had gained cancer at an early age, which everyone did contribute to the cigarette's. Of course Mr. Stall bought the tin, and the Warehouse was able to find out what it really did easily.
