Small Nürnberg Lebkuchen Tin artillery cups like these are stillVery small Nuernberger Lebkuchen tin. Lebkuchen is a popular German gingerbread type cookie with various coatings, which were frequently shipped to the front around Christmas time. It is in OK condition with several dents and some wear to the finish. Most of the lebkuchen tins we come across are much larger. I believe this is an older example maybe even appropriate for WWI. It measures about 2 3 4" in diameter by 2 5 8" tall.
