Nylex vintage canisters - set of five - they
do have some colour loss to the writing and pictures, and this
is mainly to the tea, sugar and coffee canisters - that is why
there are stickers on them - the handles on the lids have lost
the silver colour - the handle on the flour is partially broken
off - also, the flour canister is slightly faded in front, probably
due to being left in direct sunlight - but all the backs are
good in colour, and you could turn them around and they would
still look great on display - nice for that retro kitchen - none
of them have any splits or cracks, just the usual wear and tear
markings for their age and use over the years - April 2007

Retro 1950's/60's - this set of canisters
is made by Nylex and is made in Australia way before political

original raw ingredients were from - they are engraved into the
brown marbled plastic and are highlighted with gold colouring
- the flour has a lady with sheaf of wheat and it's length is
15.5cm, width is 11cm and height is 24cm - the sugar has a man
with sugar cane - the rice has an oriental man eating with chop
sticks - the tea has a lady picking tea leaves - the coffee has
a Mexican on a donkey - they are all in good condition but with
scuff and wear marks, particularly to the bases - the lid handles
have lost their original colour and the sugar inside rim has
been melted in two places - the flour and sugar people/motifs
have lost a lot of their gold colour through handling - April
2007

This set is very similar to
ours!!! - the difference being in the colour of the lid handles
- plus one of these has heat damage
This is a set of collectable retro kitchen canisters, each featuring
a different design - they are made of plastic and are a pale
coral ivory colour with bronze coloured rectangular knobs on
the lids - the flour is 26cm x 16.5cm x 12cm - the sugar is 23cm
x 15cm x 11cm - the rice is 20.5cm x 13cm x 9.5cm - the tea is
18.5cm x 11.5cm x 8cm - and the coffee is 15.5cm x 10cm x 7cm
- the canister brand is Nylex and Made in Australia - these are
in average vintage condition with general scratches, wear and
marks due to age and use - the rice cannister, however, has damage
to the base due to what looks like heat damage - it can still
be used, but you would need to have the rice in its plastic bag
- otherwise, this set does make a nice display - April 2007
