Summary	Tin has a long, rectangular shape and is made of rusted metal, with a hinged lid colored red, blue, white, and gold, chipping away in places. At the top of the lid is an image of a temple and a road. Underneath is written "TEMPLE BAR", with "WAVE-CUT SMOKING" and "NEW CUT" below. These words are surrounded by abstract designs. In the lower right corner is the small inscription "PATENT APPLIED FOR". In this same area are engraved letters that appear to be "E" and "P", inscribed after the original manufacturing of the tin. On the inside of the lid is written "TEMPLE BAR" and "WAVE CUT" once again, along with a note from the manufacturer: "Something quite new in the manufacture of tobacco. The special form of cut ensures a better draught in the pipe. When rubbed open a perfect Smoking Tobacco is obtained".
