Miscellaneous Accessory Series Dustbins Mixed Trio

One of a new series of bits and bobs collecting together some of the smaller items I've made but never released until now, or filling gaps in the list of common British items which only exist in lower build numbers.

In the days before wheelie bins and kerbside recycling, dustbins were the almost universal method of refuse disposal, with a weekly collection as the general rule. Almost everything went in, from food waste to packaging and ashes from the coal fire: there was rarely a limit on the number of bins a household could have, so a couple or even three were not uncommon. Even though they were usually made from galvanised metal, the rough handling they suffered during manual collection meant that they became battered and showed increasing signs of wear quite quickly. Clangingy noisy and revoltingly noisome, a breeding ground for insects and a source of food for cats and urban foxes, they're one of the less-missed everyday items from the recent past.

This trio - perhaps belonging to two different houses - offers a variety of styles and finishes.
