    Not sure these are worth that kind of money.
    I don't mind realistic P&P but I'm sure that this is more than the cost of actual P&P. These might be replicas.

    THIS IS NOT A FREE SAMPLE!!!! It is a link to a website selling vintage tins. This one is for the sale of a vintage Mc Vities tin that once held free samples. The price is £10, and the P&P to UK is £1.86. See description from site (below)......

    yeah I thought that too, because it describes the markings etc on it from wear and tear, so how could they have a stack of them which were all exactly the same???
