“It is hoped that one result of this publication will be the discovery of hitherto unknown tins or unrecorded variations in design.  This will obviously widen out knowledge and contribute to the preservation of these rare items.  Featured in this book is a condensed history of T. Dawson & Sons Ltd, and A. Simpson & Son Ltd, who were our two Adelaide-founded tin makers and printers.  Other companies such as J. Gadsden, Union Can, and later Containers Ltd, are also represented, as they operated in South Australia.  However, they had their origins in Victoria.
This book offers a valuation guide.  The price you eventually pay will vary according to where and how your tin is purchased and will also depend on how much personal appeal the item has for you.  Valuations should therefore only be used as a basic guide...”
