TIN KITCHEN CANISTERS


So here are some more kitchen collectibles I find hard to resist. My first set of these vintage tin kitchen canisters came from my Grandmother. She gave me a full set in mint condition which I love. Here and there I have picked up many other sets, sold a few, kept a few. These were used in kitchens during the 30s, 40s and 50s. Also included with these sets were a big square bread tin, a holder/dispenser for aluminum foil/wax paper, etc..., a garbage pail and dust pan. I do have a few of the bread tins but don't really have room for the other stuff! I did come across a dust pan which matched one of the patterns that I have and for some reason didn't buy it. I should have as I don't come across those to often!

  1. Hi there! I actually found your blog while hunting for info on the syrup pitcher I just brought home from the thrift shop. I love collecting, too and hope to have my won booth at the antique mall soon.

    I adore vintage tins and have a few myself. Your collection is great!

    I'll be following along and exploring your past posts!

  2. I have a few cherry tins myself. I bought a whole set last year -3 canisters, 1 waste backet and the bread tin ...they were mint condition. I love them and use them everyday.
