England - How one tin led to another!
Within the first week of arriving in England for the next 6 years (July 1982), I can still see myself at a British vendor's table outside the military base BX, buying my first two tins in England: a red telephone booth & a round red post box - both soon-to-be very common sightings throughout the country. I was so thrilled to be able to live in England that when I went back home (to the United States), I wanted to still be surrounded in years to come with the feeling of living there. Thus began the "tin collection" because wherever we went, I seemed to see a tin with history attached to it (& whispering that I should be a caretaker of it for the preservation of history). That was the important aspect . . . learning about history because now we could actually BE in the spot where so many "history book" events of hundreds, and some thousands of years, actually happened. A lot of my "need to bake sweets" for the family became subsided (with more time to hunt around😄🚶♀️🚗) because we had so many treats from all the tins, & my husband had enough tea to keep him going for years thereafter!

England's Tin Index
This will be an ongoing project for quite some time into the future. There are hundreds of commemorative and short-run editions of tins from England -- most deep in storage at this time. As the exhibits of tins are created on website pages, the category will be switched to "bold" print, and the underline will designate that a click will link you onto the page for viewing! Enjoy - 😊
