This one is a special prize from that box in the storage that I'd forgotten about -- a breadbox that actually *matches* two of the other canister cans I've already shown a few years ago?!!

It obviously is like those two cans in color and decoration - I'd havta guess there once were also a couple lager sized ones to go along (as a set) that I've never found -- nevermind that, as I seem to have plenty more nowadays that will go together just fine as a 'mis-matched set'?!! ;-) ;-) :-) :-)
It measures about 14" x 10" x 8-1/2", and has a 2" round perforated 'air vent' in its lower back side. It now contains nothing but a very elderly (and very curled with age) piece of Linoleum cut to (originally) fit inside its bottom. Check out the pattern on that little piece -- wouldn't *that* make a fun kitchen floor these days, in somebody's retro-kitchen?? <LOLOL> There are no markings or stampings anywhere on it.
Now your making me want to go out in the cold to look at an old tin bread box that is now in my shed. I brought it home from my dad’s shed where he had used it for decades to hold all sorts of ‘stuff’; I’m continuing that.
