I am not sure whether the presence of the original chocolate is a bonus?

Described as:

Boer War Queen Victoria Christmas Tin with Contents, superb example of the tin chocolates by Rowntree which was sent to the troops fighting in the Boer War by Queen Victoria, the tin retains nearly all of the original finish. Inside the tin remains the six bars of chocolate, remains of the original tin foil covering. Overall a superb example, so rare to find with the complete contents.
