Some things I've found that would be neat altered.

Vintage tobacco tins, some with stamps. These are not new items. If you don't like the writing, you could paint over it. Or glue something on it. I'm using one as an insert in an altered book. I painted everything but the little crown. (Put tape over the crown, then use an Xacto knife to cut out the crown. This masks the crown while you paint.) There are 11 available. $5 each. Order Chestin1.
