Colorful Tins


Lithographed tins were once used as functional containers for everything from tea to cigars to fish products.  Today, tin-lithographed containers are still made. but their role is more promotional and decorative than purely functional.  We have gathered some of our own favorite tins and photographed them for your enjoyment.  So please, look and enjoy!  The tin-lithographer's art still thrives.
