Apologies for the sideways pic Blogger or picasa is having issues... The collection started in the bad old days when I did stuff that you do when you are young, stupid and think you are in love.
I kept the tins in the picture above as I really like them and think I may be able to use them for scrapbooking somewhere along the line if I ever find my scrapping mojo (godness only knows where I lost that- I think the Dr may have accidentally removed it when he gave me my C-section)... The card says "A little something to make you smile" I found it in one of the tins and I have no idea where, when or who it came from.
This is Ovoline egg preserver I think maybe you rubbed it on the outside of the shells to stop the air getting in.... That reminds me of a very gross story that happened a few weeks after easter when I was about 8 and involved boiled eggs, maggots and Suzy Duncan's Nana's front room. It's probably better left untold.
I am sure there is a story and a bunch of history that goes with this tin... if only it could talk!!!!
And this was a more recent acquisition from Les' old WO before he left the RNZAF and went overseas to be gay :-) It's actually a Chocolate tin... wouldn't it be cool if they still did nice stuff like this as a matter of course!
