eBay Scavenger: Vintage Ghirardelli Cocoa Tins

2008_01_22-eBay.jpg

These vintage Ghirardelli cocoa tins are old and have that patina of age, but they are unopened and still have cocoa inside! We don't recommend baking with this antique cocoa, but the tins would look beautiful in the right kitchen.

The pair of tins is currently going for $9.99. Shipping is $15 and the auction ends this evening. More eBay picks after the jump, including a funny chocolate mold plus the most expensive item we've ever featured on a scavenger post...

A friend bought a "vintage" '80s can of corn from Steinberg's grocery store a few months ago during one of our trips to antique shops. He keeps it in his walk -n pantry! It's fun, but in my opinion a bit risky. What if a visiting guest opens it?
