Turkstra was a nationally known Dutch brand of rusk with various beautiful biscuit tins. Egg cups, bowls and pins were also available. Turkstra's logo is the well-known baker that holds a rusk over his head.

A biscuit tin is a tall, round tin with a lid for storing rusk. A rusk tin fits exactly a pack of (roll) rusk with 12 or 13 rusks. Almost every rusk manufacturer also supplied its own rusk tin, with advertising.
