What a quarter of collecting this was!  We were fortunate enough to travel back to Japan during this period and spend two weeks combing all of our favourite markets and antique fairs.    You will see in the gallery below that we added over 50 tins to our collection, among them some of the nicest tins we have ever seen.   There are too many special tins to mention individually but the Yacht, Club, Sled, Golf and Review 1000 are all rare and beautiful.  We added several different shaped tins and four new Napoleon variations.   How many more can there be?  What a way to end 2017! 

Below are the tins we have added from October to December 2017.
