Johns Cellpic Sunday
Often when I am in an op-shop, or thrift shop, charity shop wherever you’re from, sometimes some things need a photo and my phone is usually what I have to hand.
My first thought was, what was in the tin? The badly dressed child, spots and stripes….pleeeeze, offered not much of a clue. Unless it was a tin of pigeon food
“Look Daddy, they come right up to your hand”
“It makes it so easy to grab them,” said a child with a bit of a grin.
Perhaps it is a personalised tin with a picture of the grand-daughter for Nana.
“Hey Nana, look what I have for you,” that child devilishly said, “A lovely tin of squab for you.”
“They are grain fed and I caught them myself.”

Your turn, what do you think was in the tin?
Toffees, long past their sell-by date.

Probably be a bit well done by now. 1950-1960’s tin?

Not faded enough. It reminds me of early photos of my two older ones – even as late as the early 80s?

Spools of thread, buttons, some trim, a packet of sewing needles.

That’s the disappointment of finding a biscuit tin at Nana’s and there are sewing bibs and bobs inside 😂

Originally biscuits, but then photos. Reminds me of the old tin my mother kept the family photos in.

My two guesses were already posted… stale cookies or sewing components. It must be someone’s granddaughter keepsake. 🙂

The general consensus has been biscuits, perhaps shortbreads 😋

Oops.. hadn’t seen that you already made that joke. So, did you buy it and was it empty?

No I didn’t buy or even pick up just was bemused by the photo 🙂

My guess is it originally held some kind of lemon cookie (probably round and quite hard), but that it eventually held someone’s secret stash of candy they didn’t want anyone to find (ha!)

That is possible. I like the idea of a secret stash 👍😀
