There was a time when I used to collect old tins but as time went by, I got rid of most of them - due to lack of space, plus the fact that they were just more items to keep clean.
However, I did keep a couple as I really liked them.
Tins today do not have the same detail on them and are so thin - no where near the same quality as the old ones.
This photo is of a couple of my remaining tins - I especially love the Oxo one - what do you think?
