Mini Story or Hook:

Before modern patch kits, a trusty tin like this one was a cyclist’s best friend. The Leggett Bull-Dog Grip “Handy Cycle Outfit” represents a time when Australians repaired, not replaced. Bright and boldly lettered, this little tin would’ve rattled along in the pockets of post-war pedalers tackling the dusty backroads. A nostalgic survivor of utility and design, it’s a gem for collectors of vintage cycling gear or Australian tins.
