Very Unusual Indian Brass Cigarette/Tobacco Tin With Ashtray Top, Engraved. We have been donated this very unusual tin for the storage of either cigarettes or tobacco, with a lid which is also an ashtray, and fits well. The base appears to be made of a silver coloured metal, which feels a bit too heavy for aluminium, or it may be brass which has been tinned. The top appears to be made of brass. Overall, it is 4 inches high and 3 inches wide at the base. The sides are finely engraved, and seem to have a brass coloured finish. I have not attempted to polish it because I was afraid of running it.
