I picked this up off the well known bidding site for a couple of quid. It shows some signs of being old such as, where the paint work has chipped. Apart from that it's in great condition, no rust etc.
Does any one know how old this is?
Also, how can I identify what metal it is? It feels like aluminium as it's rather easy to shape.

Fishing is not just a sport, it's a way of life. It's an escape from reality, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. It's just you, a river, and an old Willow tree hidden away from everything.

I have just checked my tins like this and all are magnetic, so mine are mild steel with a coating. So give it a Check with a magnet Joshluke

Brilliant, thank you guys. Think I'm going to give it a quick polish and stick it in my tackle tin.
