Bakelite spice canisters,
made in Australia 1940s
Here is a collection of red and red & white bakelite spice canisters, all Australian made, in the 1940s.
The front six canisters- two with sprinkle tops, are by Sellex; Nutmeg, Cloves, Ginger, Cinnamon, and one [indecipherable] other. The two canisters at the upper left are by Marquis, and the pair of canisters adjacent are by Nally.
All good Australian bakelite canister manufacturers. All the canisters have screw lids – which are all in good order. The labels to the Sellex canisters show vintage wear- after all, they are over 75 years old.
I have a set of matching kitchen canisters by Eon – also red and white- this colour combination is a winner- see posts, below.
The set of ten spice canisters is for sale: $AUD135
