Antique tin collecting has grown enormously within the past two decades causing prices to soar. Most of these fine collectibles, being taken for granted in previous years, have been discarded with rubbish or their number one enemy - rust - has overcome their glory. Miraculously a small percentage of tins have weathered the storm of aging. After their original contents had been depleted, tins served for such things as storage bins on a work bench, button containers in the home, or simply protection of sentimental he irlooms stored in the corner of an attic.
