One Tin Soldier was created in 1969.
During WW1, the US Army issued the "Emergency Ration," aka the "Armour" or "Tobacco Tin" ration. It consisted of a sealed oval tin can with 3 cakes of mixed powdered beef-ground wheat, and three hard cakes of chocolate mixed with powdered sugar. The British (and German) armies issued the "Iron Ration" (Eiserne Portion). This consisted of preserved meat (such as canned corned beef) and hard crackers, plus some salt and perhaps some tea or coffee. The Emergency Ration/Iron Ration/Eiserne Portion could only be consumed by the order of the officer in charge, otherwise the soldier could be charged and punished. During WW2, the US Army utilized the D-Ration, a hard chocolate bar fortified with oat flour and vitamins; three 4-oz bars constituted one days emergency ration, providing 1800 calories. The WW2 British Army issued the Emergency Ration Mk I, a flat tin about the size and shape of an Altoids tin, sealed with waterproof tape and containing: a 1.25 oz chocolate-nut cake (sort of like a dense brownie), sugar cubes, and enough powdered tea for a 12-oz mug. The Canadian Army had an Emergency Ration tin about the size and shape of a SPAM can, containing 12 milk chocolate tablets, 12 hard crackers, and 2 small bars of chocolate. The Germans used the same Eiserne Portion as during WW1. As in WW2, the British & Canadian Emergency Rations and the German Eiserne Portion could only be eaten on the order of an officer.
In average condition which would be very polished, a bit battered and empty. You could expect around £15-£25 A really nice example with all its gilt intact would be worth a lot more as would a full one!
Actually Rin Tin Tin was awarded to Lee Duncan, a member of the RAF during WWI for helping to save a kennel full of German Shorthair puppies, along with a female Alsatian. The female was Lisette, both puppies named after the dolls the French pilots carried in their jackets for good luck. Lisette died on the transport ship back to America. I am a retired insurance agent and I insured Lee's widow, Eva and his daughter, Carolyn, and have some memorabilia from his movie career, gifts from the family. Rin Tin Tins litter sister was actually named Nenette after the puppets and she died shortly after arriving in the US. I would love to discuss Rin Tin Tin history with you and see some of your memorabilia.
A tin-plated steel pan is commonly used for jam making because tin has a non-reactive surface that won't interact with the acidic fruit during the cooking process. This helps preserve the flavor and color of the jam. Additionally, tin conducts heat evenly, which helps prevent scorching or burning of the jam.
A big tin of apricot jam typically weighs around 1-2 pounds, or roughly 450-900 grams. The exact weight can vary depending on the brand and size of the tin.

Tin cans helped a lot of soldiers to survive in difficult wars like WW1 WW2
Place an open, empty tin upside down on the table and place the ruler on top. The tin will act as a sounding board and the twang will be more audible.
The metaphor "empty as an old tin can" suggests being devoid of substance, value, or purpose. It conveys a sense of hollowness, emptiness, and the idea that something is worn out or useless.

Rin Tin Tin was a German Shepherd that was rescued by an American soldier in WW1. He was brought back and trained by his owner to play in silent films. He died in 1932, but a subsequent TV series, The Adventures of Rin Tin Tin, became a huge hit in the 1950s.
Tin makes tin cans, and melted tin could make window glass. Also Tin gas been known since ancient times.
To make tin cans.
If it is empty and you seal it, it will float. Possibly would float if it were flattened.
