Question

Asked: Dec 07, 2009

I have a large collection of advertising tins that I want to sell or auction and need to know a source of contacts

I used to collect advertising tins that were old and colorful. I expanded that to many of the newer tins from the 1980s and 90s while continuing to buy the older tins as I traveled across America. Now I am retired and have changed my objective of setting up a Tin Museum because I have elderly family members to take care of. I now have about 3000 tins that range in catagories of medicine, tobacco, food and candy, whisky, gas and oils, key wind and pail coffees and miscelleanous. I have over $150,000.00 invested in the price of these and would like to get a fraction of it back if possible while still finding someone who might cherish them. If I can't sell them as a unit then maybe someone can sell them for me and pocket some good profit while the new owners get to enjoy a bit of history.

Reliablejim - have you looked on eBay to see what similar tins, or collections of tins, are selling for? If you see a seller who's got a large number of items like yours, chances are that person buys lots or pieces (at wholesale prices, of course). That might be a good place to start.

If you don't want to go the eBay route, I recommend http://www.antiquetrader.com/ -- The Antique Trader. My grandfather left behind numerous railroad-related collectibles. One ad in this publication led to a sale of the "whole shebang" for my grandmother.
