Allcocks float caps tin

Post by Joshluke »

I picked this up off the well known bidding site for a couple of quid. It shows some signs of being old such as, where the paint work has chipped. Apart from that it's in great condition, no rust etc.
Does any one know how old this is?
Also, how can I identify what metal it is? It feels like aluminium as it's rather easy to shape.

Brilliant, thank you guys. Think I'm going to give it a quick polish and stick it in my tackle tin.
