    I don't think it's a tobaco tin, not with those two holes in the side. It may have been semi-domed before it was crushed, and the holes suggest it was attached to something, maybe a brass bed frame?

    Only two holes. The other hole your looking at is a puncture.

    Looks like two holes in the unbent part. Are you sure it isn't a 3rd hole on the bent part?

    Re: Tobacco Tin?

    I did a TON of lids and caps that are full of grasses and roots... I would not think that is tabacco at all.

    I agree with johnnyi that it's a cap or cover, not a tin or tin-lid.

    You are correct there is three holes. My bad on that one. It could be grass in it also. I think its a cap also.
