You know that film cameras are perfect for storing memories. Now, this Leica M3 tin replica box will store, well, other stuff. This little tin box is made after the iconic Leica M3 and resembles the camera in size and looks (size-wise that means 138mm x 71mm x 77mm).

Only instead of having optics and mechanics, it is completely hollow. That makes the box perfect for storing pencils, general desktop mess, and best of all, film canisters.

The Leica box is sold for $40 here. This is not bad considering an original Leica M3 will set you back about $1,000. (And it’s not even new like the tin box).

This is what the tin box looks like:

And here is a side by side comparisson with the real thing:
