| The unusually shaped
tin designs are usually more feminine to appeal to the women. English tin
companies were famous for making rectangular snuff tins for the gentry, so it was a
natural evolution to design a decorative rectangular tin box with floral and mosaic
designs lithographed on the sides and cover. Fruit and floral vases were also
extremely popular decorations on the tins. The Malverne tin shown above was a classic as was the Claremont tin shown below. These were classic, timeless designs that always were popular.

The Tin Shoppe
A number of the tins we offer are made in Italy and France. Others are imported from Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and the Far East. A limited number of tins are made in the United States, but there are only four companies left that make decorative tins. We have been collecting and packaging nuts and candy gifts in tins since 1981. Over the years we have designed and produced tins abroad for our holiday catalog. The process of making tins is extremely interesting. We will describe it on another page. You almost never see a tin shoppe because it is extremely costly to buy tins in the proper quantities. Sometimes the minimum run of tins can exceed 10,000 tins of one design. costly and that is the reason you seldom see such an extensive collection as ours being offered for sale. We are able to produce and sell tins because we buy in a large enough quantity and we have done so for many years. We offer you a vast and interesting selection. Have fun and remember - you may be buying today a "collectible" for tomorrow. a tin that has or will eventually go out of production.... |
