Also saw one on the south coast - Eastbourne I think.My favourite tins are biscuit tins.

Sheer genius.<br /><br />Do you know Anne Taintor too? Look her up - she's my favourite.<br /><br />I love old cookbooks too - in fact I think I blogged about my collection a couple of years ago (can probably be found on a blog-search about 'Retro Cookbooks'.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121127059915743044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637143771949896830.post-47074756469861901762011-05-04T08:52:45.401+01:002011-05-04T08:52:45.401+01:00I love these tins too!

You'd probably like Graham Rawle's style: http://www.grahamrawle.com/ He's not a cook though. I love old cookbooks for the style as well as the social comment/history you can get from them. I have a book that's a collection of the own brand recipes you get on the back of packets - that's fun.Ruthdigshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560136830586473734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637143771949896830.post-67882610249417227072011-05-01T03:24:13.317+01:002011-05-01T03:24:13.317+01:00I'm very sad that I never made it to the Rober...I'm very sad that I never made it to the Robert Opie collection when it was in Gloucester Nic. All those years that I lived in Ross - so close - and I didn't visit. I must try to get to it in London some day.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121127059915743044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637143771949896830.post-56627934974143439702011-04-29T17:13:35.619+01:002011-04-29T17:13:35.619+01:00Sometimes I think the thought and money that goes ...Sometimes I think the thought and money that goes into packaging is a waste of time and then other times I come across a tin of something that is so charming I'm sorely tempted to buy it regardless of the contents!<br />The Robert Opie Collection used to be housed at Gloucester Docks and it was a great shame when it was sold and moved. It's great fun browsing their site though and you can order postcards and metal signs of some of the food packaging from a bygone era,<br />http://www.robertopiecollection.com/Application/Products/prod1GB.asp?tcode=c356nic @ nipitinthebudhttp://www.nipitinthebud.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
