Two tins of interior wall and ceiling paint, comprising one tin of Johnstone’s Matt Emulsion and one tin of Do It All Vinyl Matt Emulsion. The Johnstone’s tin features a navy and white label with the brand name johnstone’s and the slogan no ordinary paint. It is marked as lemon tang colour when dry on a circular yellow swatch. The lid bears a white price sticker reading £8.99 and another smaller white label. Several handwritten notations in blue ink are present on the lid, reading End Bedroom and next door. The second tin is a Do It All Vinyl Matt emulsion in Magnolia, featuring the brand’s orange and blue logo. The label states it provides a Rich Matt Emulsion Finish for Interior Walls and Ceilings. The lid is stamped with the code H35837. Both tins are constructed of metal with plastic handles.


Condition report:

Both tins are in used condition with signs of age and storage. The Johnstone\'s tin shows significant oxidation and rust around the rim and lid (photo 3), with yellow paint drips visible on the exterior surface (photo 1). The Do It All tin exhibits extensive surface soiling, dust accumulation, and light corrosion to the metal rim (photo 2). Both labels remain largely intact and legible despite the surface dirt.
