We have been interested in tins for many years, and we've also collected lots of "stuff" over the years.

I got seriously interested in tins when we had a newsgroup on Prodigy many years ago. It was a lot of fun to look for tins and trade them. Now I don't trade anymore, but I still keep my eyes out for tins.

When I retired some years ago I decided to set up a site on the Internet to let people know about the tins that I have. These are listed as Tins Galore.

Then I realized that many of the things I collected over the years I really don't 'need' anymore and I added some of them to the site. I still have many more things to list. These are listed under Collectibles .

As I was looking for tins I realized that there are all kinds of other items out there that people might be interested in. Mainly I like things with a "logo" or company name, as well as things about the states or countries etc. such as mugs.

So that's the story behind this site. It's a hobby - keeps me out of trouble, hopefully!

We live in Charlotte, NC, and have lived in NJ & NY before that. I was born in Germany - many years ago!

We always liked to travel and have been in all the states and many foreign countries.

One of the real pleasures I get out of this site is being able to help people all over the world. I have sent packages to all the continents except Antarctica.
