Hello, here three vintage cookies tins.
They were used in old "almacenes" (old neighborhood shops or stores) in Uruguay and Argentina in the 40s,50s, 60s, 70s.
Old times when the cookies were sold loose :)
I remember these times with love when I was a little girl.
Enjoy ;)
love those virginia
So glad you like it vanskyock24! Saludos :)

Virginia, there's a coffeshop just down the block where I live that use cookie tins similar to yours as decoration pieces. They have these shelves at the entrance and put them on the top shelf. Check a picture here:

The coffe shop looks so pretty, at the top the old tins, really nice! Yes, here many people use old tins like this as retro decoration at the home or in shops, I think its a good idea. I love the old graphics that they have.
"Like the grandmother kitchen" its the perfect expression!! ;)
