Was this done as an actual factory sample, or was this just made by a tinkerer? My granddad used to take tin snips and crimpers and doo-dadle around, making short tins like this out of stuff when he was bored or it was too cold for him to set on the porch and whittle. He could actually make a tin look as good as factory made, but I don't remember him ever doing this with PA. My favorites were when he would turn cans into tiny birdhouses.
And, the way the printing looks, makes it look like it was just made by a crafter, instead of an actual PA sample tin.
Did PA actually release samples in tins like this?
