Vintage Temple Bar Sweet Slice Tobacco Tin

A fantastic piece of old advertising — this original Temple Bar “Sweet Slice” tobacco tin still carries its bold blue, red, and cream graphics despite decades of wear and use.

Tiins like these once sat behind tobacconist counters before being reused in homes, sheds, kitchens, and workshops across Australia. The worn patina and rubbed edges tell exactly the sort of story collectors love — genuine everyday survival rather than untouched perfection.

The strong typography and graphic design make this one especially displayable.

Perfect for:

• advertising tin collectors
• Australiana displays
• rustic farmhouse styling
• man cave décor
• junk journals and prop styling
• vintage kitchen or workshop displays

Condition:

Heavy authentic wear, oxidation, scratches, rust spotting, and surface loss consistent with age and use. Graphics remain attractively visible with wonderful rustic character. Hinged lid opens and closes.

Approximate size:

10 cm wide

A beautifully timeworn survivor from Australia’s tobacco and advertising history
