The Tin Shoppe
Some of these tins on various pages are European or Asian and many of the shapes and
designs are not made any longer. These tins are collectable.
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. That is extremely 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....

| The designs are more fantasy on these tins and are meant to show earlier times when things appeared to be simpler. |
