This vintage brass tiffin weights 4kg and was used in 1930's to 1940's. The shape of this tiffin carrier is very unusual than the most typical antique tiffins in my collection. The interesting part of this tiffin is that the lower part of has a place to put charcoal to heat up the food inside or to maintain the warmth. The most interesting part it was made in India. The way to open this tiffin has a special method to it. At the side top part it has engraved with "price controlled items".
