Log Cabin Tobacco Tins (round)

[AussiePreppers]

Hey Guys,

I got these in bulk from a friend, and have 20 left over.

I'm looking for:

- firesteel handle material (I have 10 blanks) such as deer antler, bone, etc.
- flint striker
- ???

Anyone up for a swap?

Around 3 inches across (3 inch army firesteel inside) and 3/4 inch deep. The lid has a seal.

It should be quite obvious but they smell like tobacco Some small dints and scratches in some but otherwise they are in excellent condition.

Do they all have the health warning on them..??

 

[GTVi]

I have similar tobacco tins...I find the health warnings/pictures/writing can be rubbed off with acetone.

 

[AussiePreppers]

Yep they are all more recent tins so nothing aged or nostalgic / collectable.

If you're chasing ones like that I can ask but they are not what I have at hand.

I'm also trying to get my hands on some of the rectangular shaped ones, just waiting for the right connections.

Thanks for the tip GTVi - if the seal was removable then i'd soak the whole things in it to try and get rid of that smell too.

You could try boiling them, that would get the smell out or just remove the lids and dump some Arm & Hammer in there for a few days...

I hunt these down for tinder/fire kit pouch kits I make..I got about 5 so far but not so keen with the newer ones with the health warning all over them...Let me know if you get any of those older ones,trade you something.

how much antler are you after,i have a few bits and pieces from knife making.

 

[AussiePreppers]

Not sure really, I was hoping for a few small pieces to do a couple of steels and maybe one longer piece from a tip that I can do for a special one... not trying to be compact with that one.

I have no idea what it's worth normally... just throwing this out there.
