Peanut in tin

Peanut (nuts in shell) reputedly saved in pocket of R.M.S.'Titanic' passenger called 'Toddie' Chegwin but this story does not check out. No-one named Chegwin is listed either as a 'Titanic' passenger or as a member of the crew. There does not appear to be a 'Carpathia' connection with anyone called Chegwin. Contained in a circular metal tin.
