The tins are some of what my wife calls junk laying around the house, I got my first tin to keep payslips in and i just add from there if something catches my eye. I know nothing about the various tins other than what is written on them.

A. Hi Julie, Unfortunately those cans were made in their millions, plus they are not old enough to really be of any great value. You may get $15 - $30 on eBay for them. I have around 40 sets of them, and will keep them for another 10-15 years and use them as traders then. Hope that helps. regards, Mike
A. Hi Muckeye, do you still have the tobacco tins for sale? Are you able to email me with either a list of the tins and/or photos? I also have a large collection, mainly looking for ones I don't have but may be interested in getting the lot from you. Thanks, Jo
A. I've been collecting tins for quite a while now, but haven't heard of a club just for tinnies. Why don't you start one up using this venue. I'd be happy to join. Carolyn
A. Hi Pete (and other fellow collectors), try this website www.antiquebottles.com.au - it has a list of clubs and a calendar of events Australia wide for all sorts of collectables. Cooka
