A tall sailing ship pushes through rough blue water on the lid of this vintage Horner tin, while a smaller vessel appears to be having a considerably worse afternoon nearby.
The clipped-corner shape, pale blue sides, and dramatic maritime illustration make this a handsome little storage piece for buttons, stamps, sewing notions, or anything that deserves a more adventurous container. The underside is embossed HORNER, identifying it as a George W. Horner & Co. confectionery tin, likely originally used for toffee or candy.
Condition: Fair vintage condition with scratches, paint loss, staining, edge wear, small rust or oxidation spots, and general surface wear. The lid is present and the base is embossed Horner.
