    Rectangular Webley Pellet Tins.

    Does anybody agree with me that these hinged, rectangular Webley pellet tins were the nicest way to package pellets. The earlier, paper packaging wasn't very robust and I find the ubiquitous, round tins a bit boring with the possible exception of the Webley indented lid tin produced in the early fifties.

    They were also very useful, like some similar Tobacco tins of the period, for keeping screws, washers, buttons, and anything else you could think of, once the contents had ben fired at the nearest barn door.

    Couldn't agree more:

    I agree with you Brian.

    Even Webley claimed the tin was designed to fit the pocket!
