Collecting antique tins has been a popular hobby for decades. With prices soaring up to $100.00 or more for many older tins, they soon were priced over many collectors' budgets. Modern tins, those more recently available and easy to find, are every bit as collectible, not to mention colorful, fun, and affordable to everyone. Linda McPherson has compiled a second edition of Modern Collectible Tins. With more than 800 colorful photographs, this value guide features hundreds of advertising tins from food products to Crayola Crayons. Tins included are mostly from the last 20 years, but a few go as far back as the 1960s. Many new photographs and categories have been added. There are more figural tins with sections on buildings, banks, miniature lunch-boxes, Roly Polys, vehicles, and much more. This handy guide provides essential information for collectors regarding product name, size, and current collector value. Once opened collectors may not be able to put the lid back on Modern Collectible Tins, Second Edition!

'Tin in Antiquity' is the first comprehensive history of the early metallurgy of tin, a mine of information on this rare, highly prized metal so vital to the developing civilization of the Bronze Age. The origins of tin have always been a mystery, but the author has unearthed archaeological evidence from all over the world to trace the tinfields used before the discovery of European deposits. He takes us on a fascinating voyage of discovery through the Ancient World, delving into mythology, and enlivening his scholarly text with quotations from the Classics and humorous anecdotes. As his name suggests, Roger Penhallurick's roots are deep in Cornwall- formerly the world's largest tin producer, and still the greatest in Europe. So it is fitting that the Cornish section comprises almost half the book, for the first time collecting together all the evidence for tin streaming between 2000 BC and AD 1000. All surviving artifacts recovered from the tin workings are illustrated and put in their archaeological context. The book is lavishly illustrated throughout, including many rare old photos, and has a full bibliography of the wealth of sources that have contributed to this work.
