The lot was 2 badges and the tin , other badges were picked up over the past 2 years for on average £5.00 each.
It's all down to patience ....... and luck !
I browse for mislabeled lots or ones that don't contain any 'key words' in the description (so don't show up on searches).
This lots was described as "Antique WW1 Brass Princess Mary Christmas Tin w/ WW1 Workers Badges" , no mention of 'munitions' or 'war service'.
Then (if there are no bids) I bid the minimum amount or place the lot on my 'watch list'. At the last minute I'll bid my maximum (no bidding war) and sometimes I'm lucky and get the lot . In this case if there had been one more bid I would have lost the lot !
