Description
This tin case wears the sunny sausage dog design all over, a bright print of cheerful dachshunds in rainbow striped jumpers on a sky blue ground. The dogs trot, stretch and curl up for naps among yellow suns, little bones, red balls, food bowls and sprigs of green grass, and the print carries on around the edges so the case looks good from every side. It is made from tinplate with a red plastic carry handle, and measures 19cm long, 8cm wide and 13.5cm tall, or 16.8cm to the top of the handle. At 0.22KG it is light enough to carry without a second thought.
We like it as a tidy home for the small things that otherwise drift around the house: on a shelf, a desk or a bedside table it keeps odds and ends together behind a cheerful face. The carry handle means it travels as happily, picked up from one room and taken to the next, or tucked into a bag for a day out. Because the print is bright and friendly rather than fussy, it sits as well in a busy family room as on a neat home office shelf. It also makes a cheery gift on its own, or a ready made gift box to fill with small surprises before you wrap it.
The lid is hinged along the back and closes with a metal catch that keeps it secure, so the lid stays shut when the case is carried by its handle. Inside, the case is plain silver tinplate, with no print, so whatever you keep there is easy to see. For care, wipe it over with a soft damp cloth, dry it straight away and keep it somewhere dry between uses. To style it, stand it upright on a shelf among favourite books, or fill it and tie a ribbon around the handle for a gift that needs no wrapping.
