You must be a youngun’. In the 1900’s people would reuse these tins, or in my family, red fruitcake tins, to store things. Most grannies kept their miscellaneous sewing stuff in there. I personally had one that I kept all my little beads in (for making yarn necklaces) when I was around 4.

Man seeing 1900’s written like that makes me feel old.

I mean, I’ve got decades of the “1900s” I remember, but that doesn’t mean I look at tins that we reused for everything and think “sewing kit”. Idk, I thought there must be something more to it that I was missing. Maybe because I sewed more than my grandma ever did? That woman cooked everything in the microwave and patched clothing with duct tape and safety pins.
