That is very noble of you.Thx for the trade & kind words. When I compared the tin from 1999, it was physically smaller than a tin from 2019. Weighed both tins, the 1999 tin weighed in at 114.8g, the 2019 tin weighed 115.6g. I guessed the difference was due to the physical size difference.
Side note, if the tin upon opening turned out to be in bad shape, I’d have either refunded or returned the trade. Thx also for your honesty.
I was willing to take the chance on this one and it took some self control not to buy it because it seemed reasonably priced. I haven't seen too many 20yr old FVF tins for sale. I'm sure these old tins are a gamble, this one had some rust on the inside and they don't hold up forever. Glad for the opportunity to make a trade as I didn't want to spend money right now. Really glad this one was not mummy dust.
