HELP UNKLE JOHNNY...YOU'RE MY ONLY HOPE



I am posting this to see if anyone can help me speed up an organizing project: If you can find me any of these vintage containers....They are made of light-weight aluminum..come in sets..origionally 4(?) with the words "COFFEE", "FLOUR", "SUGAR", and..(?) in descending sizes. I found these 2 for $10 to give you an idea...I saw them in an overpriced vintage knick-nac store in Brooklyn for $75 for a set of four...I THINK NOT...I will reimburse you, but don't spend alot for them...I DON'T need complete sets, but I want to get alot of them....LET ME LET YOU HELP ME...

tHANX IN ADVANCE....

i didnt know those were valuable.
i have been using one marked "tea" for turpentine. it's pretty filthy now. i dont think you would want it.

If you don't want it...i'll take it...it is not that they are VALUABLE per se, but I am fixated on them as a solution for something....YOU KNOW how I get fixated....

If I see any, I'll send them across the continent to you.
