The history of metal packaging began in Bohemia in the 1200s. Metal has been produced for a very long time. But the first metal used for packaging was tin. In particular, it was the process of tin plating that was invented in Bohemia. Before this no other metal was economically able to be used for packaging. Later, in 1667 Andrew Yarranton, and English engineer, and Ambrose Crowley brought the method to England. Here it was improved by ironmasters including Philip Foley. Then by 1697, John Hanbury had a rolling mill at Pontypool in South Wales. The method they developed involved rolling iron plates using cylinders. This process enabled more uniform blank plates to be produced than was possible by just hammering the tin. https://www.shilohplastics.com.au/history-of-metal-packaging/The use of tin to protect and store food and other items, revolutionised the world.Tin container painted yellow with printed crosses and circles,.

The harsh summer temperatures and the isolated rural environment(of the 1890's) provided the inventor of the "Coolgardie safe" (Arthur Patrick McCormick) with an idea to cool perishable foods by using water soaked "hessian" cloth to provide the "coolant" for the evaporation process to cool the inside temperature of the "safe". Items such as meat,cream/milk/butter and cool "drinks" are a few perishables that need cool environments , especially in isolated "ice free" locations. Cities during this time period had large "ice works" which delivered block ice to all areas that required a form of refrigeration. These ice blocks where held in early refrigerators to keep perishables cool to cold. This "Coolardie" safe was the next best thing for isolated rural households and travellers/campers/stockmen to provide a cooler environment for foodstuff affected by heat. Ice filled "esky" coolers and ice boxes are a modern day off shoot to the original Coogardie safe however they still rely on ice or frozen coolant bricks for cooling.This "Coogardie" safe is very significant to the Kiewa Valley and the Bogong High Plains because it represents not only the initiative thinking of the early settlers and communities but also the "primitive" solution to an everyday (1800s to 1930s) problem (before gas and electric run refrigerators) of keeping "perishables" at a low temperature and thereby prolonging their "shelf" life. This was before electricity and gas was available to the inhabitants of the Kiewa Valley and Bogong High Plains. Another cooling method for food was to have "water tight" containers dipped into the very cold streams running from the "cooler" alpine mountains and the Bogong High Plains. This however could not be carried out in all situations eg. fast flowing currents and locations away from streams. This "Coolgardie safe" is made from a medium grade steel enclosure and its appearance is of a perforated box with a wire handle and one side (long side) being a hinged "door" with a clasp securing "lock". There are air holes grouped into a small "boxed" pattern. Each "box" is divided by a crossed pattern, dividing the "holed" sections(4) into a diamond configuration of 49 small holes each. There are four sides (long) which have the perforations except for the base which does not. The base has an indentation with a loose "catch" tray to catch water spills. When in use the "box" is covered with a water "soaked" cloth. The wet cloth is used as "coolant" ie. fibers in the cloth hold the water droplets seep out evaporating the area and thereby (in mass) cooling the air inside the container.domestic refrigeration cabinets, coolgardie "safe", insect and vermin proof food containers, electric and gas free cold storage containers

Marmite's history begins with the discovery that brewer's yeast could be concentrated, bottled, and eaten, by German scientist Justus von Liebig in the late 19th century. The Marmite Food Extract Company was formed in 1902 in England, and the spread was named after a French cooking pot, "marmite". Sanitarium later obtained rights to distribute Marmite in New Zealand and Australia in 1908, eventually manufacturing a modified version under license. Today, Marmite remains a popular, albeit divisive, food spread, with a "love it or hate it" reputation. A small white glass Marmite jar with a rusted screw top metal lid.

Vintage 8oz clear Vegemite jars, specifically those used between 1935 and 1945, are a piece of Australian food history. These jars, originally used for packaging Vegemite, were often repurposed after use, with some finding new life as storage for beads. The Vegemite spread itself was invented in 1923 by Cyril Callister, and initially struggled to gain popularity until it was co-marketed with Kraft cheese. During World War II, Vegemite's popularity soared as it became a staple in Australian Army rations. Vegemite, a dark yeast extract spread, is a popular Australian food product. It is known for its strong, salty, and slightly bitter flavor. The Kraft brand was historically associated with Vegemite, but the brand is now owned by Bega Cheese. Vegemite is a staple in many Australian households and is often enjoyed on toast with butter. A small clear glass Vegemite jar with a rusted white and red screw top metal lid.
