This page will better answer the question, “Where do you put them all?”  Most of the collection is displayed year around. 

     PLEASE click on each picture and scroll to the top of the page to see enlarged pictures.

     First are photos of the “tin room.”  Then individual categories are show in alphabetical order, which sometimes works and sometimes, not.   

    My husband has been creative about ways to display grouping on the walls.  He makes magnetic boards, trimmed with oak, for many small medicine tins.  A search of flea markets, garage sales and stores is as likely to result in a find for containers, as it is for more tins.  We are particularly proud of the way we found to display the adhesive tape tins with holes in the middle--curtain rods!

    Holiday tin displays are brought out for their particular time of the year and packed away the rest of the time. Over 800 Christmas tins, for example!
