From my smoke free home This is from my personal collection of display items I have used this as display for Christmas time, in a country kitchen, and Fourth of July Looks great with the lid open and florals or figures or display items in this inside Latch does work so you can also use it for storage Is a muted red with cream stripes The back of the tin is a little brighter it red than the front The lid on top could use a paint job Inside is pretty clean, just some minor issues which I have pictured Measures 12 inches long by 7 inches deep by 9 inches tall at the top of the handles Multiple uses for this little gem
