Now just multiply those jars and tins by barns!!! Some with shelfs. Bob C...I too worry that a lot of things, many new, will get put in skip when I have gone. We must get away from the modern "throw it away" society.....much greener for the planet.
I have always had the vision of sitting by the log fire in winter with container full of nuts/bolts and sets of taps/dies and identifying and putting into appropriate containers. Never seems to be the time or occasion.
Being of the post ww2 growing up era I too will not throw anything away, it is surprising what you can use some broken/rotten old bits for...e.g. that bath plughole brass fitting that is now fixed to Nippy radiator shell and with a small quick release cap for access to radiator.

BATH PLUGHOLE - Just in case you were wondering.
How it starts out removed from bath.
Flange bent to fit A7 cowl (gently with hammer). The threads for the nut that attaches to bath gives good surface for soldering on adapter ring for cap
Adaptor soldered on.
Plughole, adaptor (standard item from cap supplier) and Monza cap. Yes the made in England stands out well after the chroming.
Trial fit before bending flange
