Dunlop Minor Repair Outfit Tin

A slightly rusty tin from Lady Heynes, with some nice clear instructions on the side:-
1.Clean the tube around puncture and remove dust.
2.Apply solution to the tube and allow to become tacky.
3.Tear off protective backing from patch and apply patch with slight pressure,particularly at edges.
SPECIAL NOTE: After fixing the patch, do not attempt to lift it in order to find out whether it has stuck properly. This simply destroys the adhesion and serves no useful purpose.

I love the phrasing of the Special Note..its a bit like saying

"just leave the bloody thing alone and stop picking at it....."

The only thing missing from this tin to make it perfect would be a small slit in one side to put pennies in!

I had to take it in a bit on the sides from bust to waist, because I lost some weight. It is such a simple design ANYONE who sews could easily sew an inch on each side to alter it (that is what I did).
