From the publisher's catalogue:
"This long awaited sequel to the original 1979 edition covers the growing field of country store collectables.
The items included range from coffee, tea and tobacco tins to peanut butter pails and advertising signs. Each model is listed and illustrated along with its size and current market price. The introduction gives the collector hints on starting, or improving, their collections. Also included is a fascinating history of the two major tin manufacturers in Canada -- Davidson & MacDonald.
To make your search for these uniquely Canadian nostalgic pieces easier , we have provided a listing of shows and magazines."
