Vintage Three Little Pigs Tin Box - Metalbox Co. England Trinket Jewelry Fable.
This wonderful postwar children\'s tin tells the classic Three Little Pigs story through colorful illustrated scenes wrapping around the lid and sides. The pigs set off to seek their fortunes, build their houses, and encounter the Big Bad Wolf, with story captions accompanying the illustrations.
The hinged octagonal/rectangular tin has a warm cream-yellow background and wonderfully nostalgic mid-century storybook graphics.

Maker, age, materials, gemstones, pattern, and origin are identified through markings, testing, research, and my best assessment unless otherwise noted as professionally authenticated.
