Vintage Bird’s Custard Powder Advertising Tin – Octagonal Collectible Storage Canister with Retro Graphics

This vibrant vintage Bird’s Custard Powder advertising tin is a true piece of British kitchen heritage.

Designed in a striking octagonal shape, the tin features classic retro graphics and slogans like “As Sure as Eggs are Eggs” and “Wish I’d Bought a Cow,” along with a colourfully illustrated lid marked “BIRD.”

Each of the eight panels is adorned with nostalgic images and advertisements from the brand’s golden age, making this tin not just a charming storage solution but a wonderful decorative talking point. Inside, the gold-tone metal is clean and shiny, though there are a few light age-related marks consistent with its vintage condition.

This tin would make a fabulous addition to a vintage kitchenware collection, a prop, or quirky home decor. It’s sturdy, display-ready, and brimming with charm.
