Perfectly Dinged Up Old "Chips" Canister (plus 1) staircase A book by architects forThere are actually two tins here, the second included as a freebie if you'd like it, but it is this larger one with perfectly scratched and dinged up surface and "CHIPS" hand painted in red that made me buy these. Completely satisfying, and with a dent over (under?) the "C" which is just as it should be. The reverse side, and the smaller one are printed in red with a grapes and fruit and vines pattern. Large tin measures 7 1 4" t x 7" in diameter.
