candy tins

Metal treat holders

Candy tins are small metal containers used to hold candy, typically featuring hinged or sliding lids.

They range from plain utilitarian boxes to decorative collectibles with ornate designs.

The tins often outlast their original contents and get repurposed for storing sewing supplies, buttons, or small items: Grandma's candy tin was full of buttons and thread.
