check out my band-aid tins!

[Wilkie]

I haven't seen a metal one in probably 20 years. Having 3 boys ages 17 to 25, I've seen a lot of band aids over the past 25 years.

I recently found some cool little tins that I'm guessing are from the 60's. I know they're not valuable but I thought they were cool.

I remember having one of them years ago where the bandaid was embossed on the tin . It was my understanding that it was the oldest of them , can't say that is 100 per cent fact or not . I couldn't tell if any of the ones on the bandaid site were embossed or not .

I agree the one on the right looks to be the oldest. I don't know too much about band-aids, but the one I use from doesn't look exactly like any of yours... Very similar though... I'll get a picture for you in a week.

The ones in the middle remind me of one I found in a garage. I'd say 1980s +/- I don't know if they put dates of manufacture on tins but if they did then it'd be around the bottom so look for small numbers/marks.
