Last Tin: German Bread Box

The bread box  was a common accessory in 19th century miniature shops.  And lucky for me, one of the tins was the perfect bread box size and shape.

I could have left it as it was, but I decided to decorate it with this Edward Gorey illustration as a tribute.

Devon helped me affix the picture to the top of the tin.  (Thank you, Devon!)

I put an antique cake inside as a reward for anyone who is curious enough to open the tin. The cake is most likely German, circa 1890. Read here for more about Antique and Vintage Dollhouse Food.
