Subject :A 5 Tier Brass Tiffin Carrier
Published By : None 
Location : Ipoh
Estimated Year : 1950
Media Type : Artifact
Source : Ian Anderson, Ipoh / Kinta Properties Group
Remark :

With an overall height of 46cm and a maximum diameter of 16cm, this 5-tier tiffin carrier is made entirely of brass. The inside of each tray has been tinned for hygiene. It is stamped on the bottom with an unintelligible trademark. The locking mechanism is also of brass. This is typical of a carrier that would have been taken into the rubber plantations or mines as it is hardwearing, unlike the enamel finished varieties which are easily chipped.
