These vary from poor to excellent. The Town Talk is poor, heavily corroded, has some paint, is worn - pretty ordinary. All sorts of crud internally amongst the excess rust. The Craven A's, large State Express and one of the Benson and Hedges are the next worst, these are all corroded to varying extents, print is discoloured and faded in cases. The yellow State express is a little better, although still has some corrosion and faded print, the inner tin is great. The two Edgeworths and better Benson & Hedges are really good. Some minor dints, these retain strong colours and have little corrosion. Some scratches still of course. The Lloyds tin is a labelled tin. A small dint or two. Couple of spots of wear to the label. An interesting group of varied tobacco tins. Grade: N/A Estimate: $30 - 40
