Best Answer

Tin is one of the oldest metals known by man. There are domestic utensils and arms made of brass (copper with about 15% of tin), dating from 3500 B.C.. The Phoenicians had a very important role in the spread of brass utensils due to its commercial trades with Britain, Spain and the Middle East. Pliny referred, in 49 A.D., to the existence of tin and lead alloys, what we now know as solder, as well as recipients of tinned copper. Tinned iron was only developed in the 14th century in Bohemia, and tinned steel appeared only in the 17th century.

Originally confined to Britain and Spain, the tin extraction spread throughout to other countries of the Southern Asia and to Congo, Nigeria and Bolivia.

When was Rin Tin Tin born?

If Rin-Tin-Tin was found on the battlefield, as one story goes, it would have been September 15, 1918. See Susan Orlean's Rin-Tin-Tin: The Life and the Legend. Another very likely story of Rin-Tin-Tin's birth is that he was the son of an adult male German shepherd found on the battlefield that day and then mated to a female German shepherd; if so, he was born around the time of the Armistice. That is the first story that Lee Duncan, Rin-Tin-Tin's owner and trainer, told (in October, 1919, to the Los Angeles Times) and that three officers of his squadron also told. See Rin-Tin-Tin: The Movie Star, available on Amazon.
