Item Overview
Vintage Crayola “Collector’s Colors” Limited Edition crayon set, dated 1991. This set comes in its original metal tin and remains factory sealed in plastic. The tin indicates “72 Crayons Inside,” including a standard 64-count box plus a special “Collector’s Box of 8 Retired Colors.”

Manufactured by Binney & Smith, this set was produced as a commemorative release highlighting discontinued Crayola colors, packaged in a decorative tin intended for collectors and display.

Historical Context
In 1990, Crayola retired several long-standing crayon colors, creating notable interest among collectors and educators. The 1991 “Collector’s Colors” series was released shortly after, featuring select retired colors packaged separately alongside a standard assortment. These sets reflect Crayola’s shift toward nostalgia-driven collectible products during the late 20th century.
