    From my grandmother’s pantry...

    Donate, sell, bin?
    Thank you! 62A8640D-CD0E-4447-BEBE-B438D5E40A04.jpeg E0DEBD46-6E7E-4C2C-BBA7-5D48B3B0D116.jpeg 46C77E63-3272-4EE9-B2C0-9B8EB4FC7A46.jpeg 55E34AA8-FCFE-4B85-9B35-3DA39F40AA09.jpeg FF234EF2-3895-42B9-B369-8A16D00561A6.jpeg

    Don't know if you're using an iPhone or not, but iPhones tend to load images sideways....not much you can do about it from what I understand!!!

    Looks like you are doing some downsizing or cleaning. General thoughts on the items you've posted today. I would not "bin" any of it. At a minimum, donate. There are some pretty cool items, some may not have much value, but people like these old tins, even in poor shape, for example. At the end of the day, if you have a charity place, they could use all of this (including your other posts.) If there is something they really can't sell, they will make that call.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I LOVE old tins! Sometimes I like them even better when the graphics are not in the greatest of condition. The main problem is that the little display space I have is already filled.

    I think these are all worth saving or selling.
