Welcome to my new Feature, called "One Man's Trash." Every Monday I'm going to do a post on Thrift Store, Yard Sale, or even "Dumpster Diving" finds! Most Posts will be showing a way to refurbish the item. But sometimes they'll be perfect on their own. LIKE.......
This amazing find I found at the D.I. (a thrift store here in UT). Vintage (I'm guessing, 1970's) Canister!
So amazing! Who would give these away? And I got the whole set for $5! Say what?!
So amazing! Who would give these away? And I got the whole set for $5! Say what?! They're all metal with that great avocado green color and I LOVE the style of the words!
When you find "Finds" like this, they can be used in unconventional ways. I will probably be using these in my office to hold my paint brushes, markers and such. I'm a little concerned about the metal being used with to hold edible items. But If want to later put them in my kitchen for decor, I will!

They look earlier than 70s to me, mostly because of the style of writing, I vote early 60s?
They are fantastic, I love love love them.
I'm with you on the no food in them thing. I have a rad set of metal canisters (that will soon find their way to Etsy to go to a new home) but I've always used them to store other things (Change, fish food containers, markers...)
I grew up in the '70's and '80's and can remember my grandma having similar ones in her kitchen. Those are great!
Avocado green is back??? Who would have thought it?
