A proper piece of British workshop history, this vintage steel screw tin is a dream for collectors of industrial design or anyone with a soft spot for well-made storage. Likely dating from the 1940s to early 1960s, it was made to house B.A. (British Association) thread screws—the go-to fasteners for engineers, electricians, and model makers in the pre-metric era.
Inside, you’ll find six neatly divided compartments, each still labelled with original red stickers for sizes ranging from 0 B.A. to 6 B.A., and lengths from ⅜" to 1". The green enamelled finish, classic typography, and utilitarian layout make it a standout piece for display or use. Whether you’re restoring vintage tools, curating a garage shelfie, or just love a bit of British grit, this tin’s got character in spades.
