This is a sweet little set of vintage Christmas tins made by the Tin Box Company of America. Each one is decorated like a holiday village building — Nick’s Toy Store, Snowy Creek Public School, a red brick schoolhouse, and the General Store.
These tins were originally produced in the late 1980s to 1990s and are no longer in production, making them a collectible piece of holiday décor. They measure about 3.5” tall and look so cute displayed together as a miniature Christmas village. You can also use them for little gifts, candy, or just to add a nostalgic touch to your holiday decorating.
The bottoms are marked “Tin Box Company of America, Farmingdale, N.Y., © TBC Design, Made in China.”
They do show some light wear from age and use, especially along the edges and corners, but the colors are still bright and the lids fit nicely. Please look at the photos for condition.
There is one complete set of 4 available, and the rest are sold individually, so you can pick and choose whichever buildings you would like to add to your collection.
These discontinued tins make a wonderful addition to a vintage Christmas collection and display beautifully on a mantel, shelf, or tiered tray.
