What can be this?

[Csabi975]

Hi everyone,

My name is Csaba Bari and I'm from Budapest, Hungary.
I collect every kind of old things...

Now I have a question:
What can this be? I have bought this in a military shop, here in Budapest, but the seller did not know what this was... :-)
I haven't found any information about that on the internet yet.
Would you be so kind to inform me, if you can?

Thanks a lot. :-)

On the top of the "can" is written J. N. Watson; on the side of it: 45 Grosvenor Rd Hanwell, H King & Son, East Dulwich London and maybe S E 23...

Thanks again.

Bye.

Hello Neil,

I'm sorry, but could you tell me still what year this tin could be made? On the web page it's written C1900/10, but I don't know what that is. Around, or between 1900-1910?
Thanks a lot again. :-)

What that normally means is, ...... your item was produced or manufactured from the year Circa 1900 up to and including the year Circa 1910, ..... or in other words, .... was produced for or during one of those eleven (11) consecutive years, ..... and thus the exact year that your item was produced is not known, ...... but for sure it was during that time period.

Hopes that helps.

Hi Cogar,

Thanks a lot. That has helped a lot... :-)
I suspected, that (C) was CIRCA, but I wasn't sure...
