A recent treasure that I picked up for a dollar was a vintage Grennan fruitcake tin from the 1930s. I love to collect these tins (old and new) and I have many of them; most are Christmas tins. I use them for storing herbs and mixing potpourris in. If they are new, I use them for storing holiday goodies like cookies and fudge.

This tin is now filled with bags of dried chamomile, rose buds, rosemary and lemongrass and when I have harvested and dried all of the flowers and herbs I will be using in my next batch pf potpourri, I will mix the potpourri in the tin and store it there until it is ready to bag up.
