Regular customer Kim was so pleased to find this old coffee tin for a very particular reason.
Not only does she collect antiques and restores furniture, this tin was a slightly more personal item to her.
The tin is from Waitrose and when it was purchased new and full of aromatic french coffee, Waitrose only had about 10 stores and they were all in the south of England.
Kim has worked at Waitrose now for a number of years and couldn’t resist this link to the past when she saw it in The Junk Shop.
Keep hunting for these items of social interest as it is not just monetary value that makes something special.
