Nostalgic punched metal pie safe tins.The hard-to-find patterns that were used on grandma's pie safe.
Can you imagine pies so good you had to put them in a safe.
Cherry pie with red ooze coming out of the flower design cut on the top crust, or apple or peach pie looking golden brown and picture perfect, and smelling so good! All you want to do is cut a piece and eat it right now!
No wonder it was put in a safe.
Supposedly, this was a "safe" place for them to cool where the flies couldn't get at them-- but I think it was to keep the menfolk out.
Punched metal pie safe tins are use for restoration and in new construction of furniture or cabinets, where a bit of the bygone days is wanted.
We have plain unfinished bright shiny tins with or without punched patterns. These, like the originals will tarnish if not varnished or otherwise preserved. Just like the old ones, these may already have a smudge and a small scratch or two. Or, like grandma, let them take-on their natural patina. If you're fussy,scrub 'em up now and then.For fuss-free tins, choose our exclusive(we make 'em) copper or bronze hammered finish tins. They have a durable, non-tarnish coating you can clean with a damp cloth or dish-washing soap. Our modern twist to an old look.
