Description
This lidded metal storage box wears a cheeky civil defence style notice across its lid, telling any young man who enjoys collecting random old junk that he can apply to be a Man Tin Warden, a responsible job for a responsible fellow. Beside the slogan, a grinning young man in a brown jacket sorts through an overflowing tin of odds and ends, and underneath him the lid adds a stern reminder: if it's not in this tin it doesn't exist. On the front of the base, a framed panel reads Property of the Man Tin Warden. The box is a deep green with cream lettering and a full-colour picture, rectangular in shape, and measures 21cm wide, 16cm deep and 8cm high.
It is a handy home for the spare screws, odd keys, stray cables, loose batteries and mystery bits that gather in every house. Standing 8cm high, it holds a good handful without taking over a shelf, and it sits neatly on a workbench in the shed or garage, a desk, a hallway table or a bookcase in a study. The picture and the slogan do the talking, so it looks as much at home on show as tucked away in a cupboard. It makes a cheerful gift for anyone who keeps everything just in case.
The box is made of metal, with its design printed across the lid and the front of the base, and the lid lifts off and sits over the rim. It stands flat on its base, so it rests steadily on a shelf or workbench. To keep it looking its best, wipe it with a soft dry cloth, keep it somewhere dry and never soak it. For a gift, fill it with a few useful odds and ends, a tape measure or a few small screwdrivers before wrapping, so the new warden has something to guard from day one.
