These vintage limited-edition collector’s spice tins by Watkins Incorporated were originally released in 1987 and are highly sought after for their ornate, colorful labels and nostalgic charm. This decorative series features beautifully detailed vintage-style artwork printed on durable metal tins, making them both functional kitchen pieces and display-worthy collectibles. Each tin is fitted with a rotating shaker top for easy pouring or sprinkling and was typically sold as part of a 12-piece set. This particular collection includes 11 tins, as one is missing from the original set. The tins feature a variety of common spices, with each container showcasing a different design and label. Because the series has long since been discontinued, these tins have become increasingly popular among collectors. On the bottom of each tin, you’ll find a stamped code for identification, while the back displays elaborate artwork along with a brief history or description of the spice inside, adding to their vintage appeal and collectible value.
