Collecting Vintage Advertising Tins

Welcome to Collectibles at Country Joe's.

The blog for collectors, accumulators and hoarders of neat stuff.

Collecting Vintage Advertising Tins

Advertising tins have been around for hundreds of years. Made to hold items like coffee, candy, tobacco and many other items. They also come in many sizes, I think the smallest I've every had was a Bell-ans for Indigestion, Vest pocket tin. 3/4 x 1" in size. Advertisng tins were also made in many different shapes. Cigarettes came in rectangular shaped tins, many tea tins are square. Figural tins in numerous shapes, everything from animals to cars, are hard to come across.

Coffee tins are a nice collectible and great to hold things, Band tins are also pretty neat. Maybe you have an old printers tray, many small advertising tins are available to fill it. Collectible medicine and other drugstore related tins are also very collectible.Some of the harder tins to find are the one that old razors
came in, the earlier oyster tins are also tough to come by. Vintage advertising tins can run from a couple of dollars up to thousands for some of the rarest tins. Just recently an Austin Powder Co. Blasting Cap tin sold for over $10,000 at auction.

Advertising tins, because of their original use, often have scratches, dents, even a little rust, so don't let a few imperfections scare you off. But like most collectibles the nicer they are the more desirable. Many of the more recent tins are also collectible, more for the look than the value. Beware of repos of the older tins.

Also bought some stuff, advertising tins, postcards, some old razors and other goodies. Hit a few yard sales on Saturday bought a few things for the September auction and other odds and ends. Sunday seeing that we didn't sell, I turned on the AC and took photos and added some merch to the shops.
