One of the earliest uses of the decorative tin was the stationery box. Many of the earlier English tins were made to package stationery, envelops, and a pen for convenience.

The designs are 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.

Tip of the day

Don't count your nuts before you crack them.
