It has taken me a couple of years to find the following 3 examples of my favourite polish tin in good condition. The big one holds a quart of polish, the middle one holds a pint and the small one just 4 ounces.

I did an internet search a couple of years ago when I got my first one and the year 1928 comes to mind. They come with the checkerboard design you see near the top and the bottom on the middle tin, and without, but I am not sure which design is the earlier one. Vlad |

I love tins with period housework images like this.
A great bit of social history.
Cheers

Relics - re. your post of 30/04/10; that was laugh out loud funny (i.e. LOL). Can't believe no-one else commented. Nice stuff too.
For those not local to Dan, Bridgwater is full of people with hairy palms who walk using all 4 limbs. And it smells. |

This Rayline tin just arrived in the mail from the UK yesterday. It still has the original contents which have shrunk considerably over the last 70 to 80 years but the graphics are near spotless. Just thought it was a cute image but take a closer look and I think there is something more sinister going on here. At first I thought the little girl had a pill box style hat on her head and she was playing house. Take a closer look and you will see the base of the polish tin on the floor and the lid on her head. Couple that with the robotic positioning of her arms and legs and the blank facial expression and I think all is not right with this image. Then again, it's probably just me.
I wondered what "Tempy Design" meant. When I searched the internet for those words nothing came up but I did find a photo of another Rayline tin. This tin had the same graphics but different shades of brown had been added and instead of "Tempy Design" it now said "Regd. 579080". I am guessing tempy was short for temporary?

Vlad, you're right about temporary. Look closely at the word tempy, see the dot under the y? This was sometimes used to denote an abbreviation in the print trade but some time back.
I would say your tin is 1930s. Nice design I like it, I think you're looking too deeply into the meaning of the design!!! Keep up the hunt. Jez. |

Though not a polish tin it is a tin match-holder advertising a polish tin.
