Welcome to Collectibles at Country Joe's.
The blog for collectors, accumulators and hoarders of neat stuff.
A few types of interesting vintage advertising tins and containers you can collect.
Small sizes such as automotive fuse tins, asprin tins, rouge tins, old bird and fish food tins, spice and mustard tins, typewriter ribbon tins, medicine and drugstore tins, talc tins, tobacco tins, nut tins, baking powder tins, peanut butter pails, lighter fluid cans, those little 4 oz. handy oil cans, like 3-1 oil, Singer Sewing machine oil, Esso and others. How about shoe polish cans, band aid tins and other household items. Did you know that many antique razors came in tins? Beers cans and soda cans are interesting and can branch out to other related collections.
Medium size would be coffee and tins, candy and other food tins, oil cans, cracker tins and larger tins such as oyster tins, lard tins and pails, pretzel and chips tins. This list could probably go on forever, but you get the idea.
Other neat advertising collectibles that can be purchased for reasonable prices are,
milk bottle caps, ashtrays, advertising mechanical pencils, advertising pens, old blotters, old wooden advertising hangers, beer coasters, advertising can and bottle openers, rulers and yardsticks, old button hooks, bottles, lots of different cardboard and wooden boxes, advertising banks, calendars, tobacco advertising, old telephone dialers, old cardboard advertising fans, thermometers and signs, gas oil and service station advertising. Railroad stuff is also pretty neat, actually a line of it's own.
Oh, did I mention advertising matchbooks or cigarette lighters? Also restaurant china advertising hotels, railroads, or steamships, but some of these can get pricey. Planters Peanut items can be a collection of its own. Actually the list is sort of endless.
