This is dipped in melted tin after it is all finished, 

 making all the joints smooth, strong, and secure, 

 and giving it all a beautiful glossy finish, as nice 

 and bright as silver, and just about as serviceable,

 or rusty.

7 I Spice Box, Gilt I 30 | 2 50 



With Close Fitting Cover, very neat and pretty. 



These are exactly the size of the pint honey pails; 

 but they have no bail, and are not soldered. The 

 expense of soldering would be but a trifle, and they 

 would then make the cheapest and prettiest pack- 

 age for candied honey known.

These, although pretty light, are a great conveni- 

 ence for holding light, bulky articles. We use sev- 

 eral dozen of them in our factory, and as they nest 

 one into the other, they occupy but little room when 

 not in use.
