The round Songster tin is listed as an original design, along with 30+ variations, mostly rectangular and a plastic one. The round one may have been replicated, but is still attractive and looks exactly like the original.

The copies can be spotted as they have a rather fake looking crackle finish. Well I think it looks rather fake. But still an attractive tin I do agree.

I bought this Victor of Japan Needle Tin. Extra Loud! My dad was able to get rid of the mold and rust.

Here are many variations of smaller size Victor needles tins. Each slightly different, or in different languages.
Happy collecting.

ColoradoPhonograf, could I see some up close photos of those Japanese tins? They look like the single one I posted!
I saw a similar tin with a cat on it online, too.

Does anyone know why Japanese and other Asian tins typically have speckled rust spots on them?
