Hi

I belive they are called window tins.
www.theboxnl.com have similar and in different shapes, 66p each but I think its a £100 minimum order.

hmmm, just clicked that link and it seems german.UK branch is in Derby.If youd like a contact email so you can get a brochure, just let me know.

Try eBay! I love ebay.

I buy a lot of fabrics (I'm totally obsessed) from ebay via the USA. They pay half what we pay, instead of £9.99 per yd in my local shop I would pay $8.99 in my fav eBay shop, and there are roughly two dollars to £1

So, you might find your tins on eBay, maybe even in Germany as Seahorse says they might be deutsch. Shipping, even by airmail, can be quite good from Germany pricewise and it generally arrives quickly, the germans being very organised folk.

At this time of year eBay business is quite slow, so hopefully you'll find some bargains too as seller's reduce stuff for a quick sale!

Go into eBay.co.uk. Copy & paste this into the search box at the top right hand corner;

I think that's what you're after!

Hope it helps!
