Vintage lunch pail tins

The green and pink pails where given to me by my Mother in law Patsy a long time ago. Martha Stewart came out with sumilar ones. I use them to store my classic hand written recipes in the kitchen.

The other 2 are new purchases in the last 2 years. I store pens, pencils, 3M sticky notes and chalk for my chalkboard in them.

Only 1 is for sale and its the Eaton's one which I may just decide to keep unless it sells for the price I have it at. They remind me of my childhood. I am not sure when but we may have had something similar that we stored cookies in. I think it was the wafer type.

The top one is called Grey Dunn and would have contained cookies.

This is what the tin would have looked like when it was originally sold with coffee in it.
