My need is for some small, shallow metal tins. Rectangular ones would be ideal but circular ones would also be useful. What I have in mind is something like a tobacco tin, or a metal pencil case. Shoe polish tins would also be usable for some of what I need.

There might be other small tins that I've not encountered so please feel free to suggest something.

Their condition is not critical, so long as the lids fit reasonably snuggly. Scuffed paint and a bit of rust won't matter at all. Metal is essential.

One tin would be lovely but I could find uses for about half-a-dozen.

Home is south Manchester but I'm often further afield around New Mills, Marple, Wilmslow, etc so happy to collect even a single tin if it is somewhere that I pass near.
