(5) Vintage Advertising Tins, Candy, Tobacco, Camphor, UK & Japan
A delightful collection of five vintage advertising tins, each bursting with character and nostalgic charm. This curated lot includes “The Steamship Brand Molasses Candy” from Glasgow, Dunhills Pontefract Cakes licorice tin, Wm. Clarke & Son “Thunder Clouds” tobacco tin, Pascall “Weekly Assortment,” and a Japanese Refined Camphor tin from Kobe. Together, they showcase a wonderful mix of British and Japanese design, with vibrant lithography, bold lettering, and eye-catching period graphics.
From the romantic clipper ship imagery to the lively typography, these tins capture the spirit of early-to-mid 20th century packaging. Whether displayed on a shelf, used for storage, or added to a growing collection, they bring warmth, history, and a touch of whimsy to any space. A truly appealing grouping for collectors and decorators alike.
