This is very possible. The ME word "tinkere" (our modern tinker) denotes an
itinerent tin smith who repairs pots and pans. The word may trace back into
Anglo-Saxon.
Tinning for decoration has been done since Roman times and tinware has been
around since the early 17th Century, but I haven't encountered much about
transitional work.
