✅ SOLVED Old "tin" found at significant Phila. historical site

[treblehunter]

I found this deep, ten inches at the Quaker Meeting House in Phila. Most of our older coins were this deep or deeper, a few of these were 1700's coins. Which makes me believe this "tin" would be of that time frame? It is made out of brass, on the top part it reads along outer edge along the bottom "VICTORIA" then around the top "HRM THE QUEEN". The bottom part of the "tin" in a small circle in the center it reads horizontal across the middle of the circle, "PARIS" then around the edge of the circle, "FOR CORRECTING BREATH"
I was hoping someone with better researching skills than I could come up with some info on these mints, thank you in advance.

Breath mint tin. This seller figures it to be from around 1875.: c1875 Antique QUEEN VICTORIA Brass CACHOU Breath Mint Aromatise Lozenge Tin BOX | eBay

I don't know what the seller is basing this date on, but keep in mind that Victoria was Queen (of Britan) from 1837-1901, so it would not be outside of this range.
