Sweet Old Tole Painted Buttons Tin with Bird antique tool but it is overall inJust a sweet old hand painted tin, maybe originally a spice tin but which has definitely served its announced purpose I found it full of buttons and will include them if you'd like 'em! It's the cheerful yellow bird that really sold me, but I love lettering to, arching along the curve of the lid. 3 5 8" in diameter; 1 3 8: tall. Some loss and aging to the black paint, all to the good in my opinion. Lid comes off easily and closes tight.
