This week, I would like to show you some vintage tins. I purchased these from two separate estate sales. I thought that they were unusual, and liked them right off. Especially the color.
Here is a set of Blue Magic Krispy Kans. I believe these date back to the 1940's and 50's. Love the red on these.
And since they were designed to keep crackers and chips fresh, don't you just love the designs on the sides?
Here are the directions underneath the lid. I have not used these for food, I wonder if they would work like they were intended?
Here is a view of the top of the lid, look, it still has the "magic stuff" in the lid.
This is the underneath side of the tin itself. I guess the person who had this was an antique dealer. I did not pay the "Firm" price for these. In fact, I paid $10.00 for the set.
This is a really cute bread keeper. I found this at another estate sale a few months back. I paid $5.00 for this. I fell in love with the birds and pine cones on the front, it reminds me of the birds at our cabin in Colorado.
I hope you enjoyed looking at my vintage tins today. Have a great week everyone!
Notice: I am using a different link system this week. It should work the same...Just insert your blog name and blog address. Mr. Linky is having lots of issues and problems, and frankly, I did not want to deal with that. I am not sure how this new link will work out, but I will try and monitor it as soon as the post today publishes. Hopefully, we will have no problems and I will not have to insert Mr. Linky. Crossing fingers!!
If you have not entered my giveaway for my one year anniversary....click HERE to do so, winners will be announced over the weekend.

ReplyDeleteI have seen a lot tins and breadboxes, but nothing like these. You find the neatest things.
ReplyDeleteI love vintage tins and have never seen ones like yours. The decorations and the magic thing are both interesting and unique.
ReplyDeleteI entered a title in the linky before I read your post and sawe that I was supposed to enter a name.
I used to collect tins but have given mine away little by little. The bread tin has those cute birds on it. They caught my eye right away.

Those tins are SO neat! I've not heard of them nor seen them before! I do wonder if they work. Then again, maybe those blue crystals are uranium or something!
ReplyDeleteThe bread tin is unique. It's Christmaslike!
Those tins are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove that bread tin with the birds and cones! Fabulous VTT!
ReplyDeleteOooo, I love the tins..and the 3D look of the crackers and chips... my favorite tho is the breadbox..and the wonderful tablecloth it's sitting on. Happy VTT and have a lovely week..
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne! Thank you for hosting this fun party! This is my first time participating. Cute vintage tins! I have several vintage tins I display in my country kitchen. I will share them at another Vintage Thursday.
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Cool tins and I totally covet your bread box!!! Cardinals are my fav!
ReplyDeleteI love the little birds on that bread tin, they look like they'd be perfect for a Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteThose are neat. I use something similiar to dry out my hearing aids when the moisture builds up. I think it is call Dri-aid. But I do have to re-heat the pellets(they look more like pellet) until most of them have turned blue. Can be done in the microwave. Works!
ReplyDeleteSuzanne,
ReplyDeleteThose are wonderful vintage pieces.
Not sure i will get a post done today.
Did not get over to get pics of anything this week.
blessings, and I'll sign up if get something put together..
blessings,

Great tins...wonder if the magic stuff still works...wonder if it was safe for food when new?... but the breadbox is what I'm hankering for-love the birds!
ReplyDeleteHi Suzanne..
ReplyDeleteI love the tins too! especially the breadbox! you always have the neatest thing to share! Are you going to use all the tins? what would you normally keep inside the tins? Happy VTT Suzanne

Very special tins. I believe the magic material is safe, if it is the same as used in pill bottles. The birds on the bread box are cute!
ReplyDeleteThe bread keeper is absolutely adorable! And Suzanne? You go girl! $45 FIRM means nothing to you, does it?

Hi Suzanne! I have these "Krispy Cans" myself and followed the directions on the lid and the little beads in the handle do change color in the oven! I have them in red and yellow but have also seen them in white and blue...thanks for sharing your photos!
ReplyDeleteWhat great tins, and I especially love the bread box. And, thanks for posting the instructions to participate. I wondered what all those names at the bottom were for. I'm going to have to start participating. I have tons of vintage things. Take care. Lane
ReplyDeleteI love the Krispy tins - I just purchased a gold one at an auction for $1.00. I couldn't believe my good luck. I have a dark red one that was my grandmothers.
