Retro Canister Set

Metal canister sets replaced wood in the mid-1800s to protect flour and sugar from moisture. These enamel reproductions by Kraft Klub are reminiscent of those used in the '50s when people actually used flour and sugar to make bread and cake, instead of boxed mixes. Available in aqua, red and white, the price seems reasonably retro.
