It is in excellent condition with no dents or rust. The lid has one lone large horseman with a lance and sword apparently heading into battle. A dog is running alongside the horse. In the backround is a hill with several stark trees and in the distance the spires of a castle. On all four sides are soldiers; some on horseback, others walking carrying weapons. They are accompanying a covered wagon. The wagon on the front side has a hand drawn coat of arms. Also on the bottom side of the lid inside a rectangle are handwritten initials, a number 513 and the the letters AD. The bottom of the tin lists the company for which the container was made: Theo Scholler from Nurnberg. He apparently owned several food stores. Is there any way to find out when this tin was made or if it has any value?
