David,
I have noticed the tins with thier contents seem to sell for good money, well worth looking after!

That's a nice item to have in your collection.

I have one containing the chocolate but I am not quite sure what to do with it. I am loathed to discard but 110 year old chocolate?? Suffice to say, the Ziploc bag came in very useful.

Best wishes
David
