A few more new items in the shop for you today, including this tin from the 1970s, which I think is brilliant. The illustration of customers milling about in a shop and the shopkeeper waiting at the counter is just soooooo seventies (as is the colour combination of orange and brown). It's like a little piece of social history too, recording the switch from old money (pounds, shilling and old pence) to the modern system (with no shillings and 100 pence in the pound).
