The lithography features light and dark blue fields separated by a yellow band, displaying the Pure logo in a serrated white circle. The reverse includes detailed instructions and the slogan Be sure with Pure. The dark blue lid features an integrated metal grater for roughening rubber surfaces. The second tin is a Gulf Tube Repair Kit No. 10 from the Gulf Tire and Supply Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The third tin is a Sears Cross Country Tube Repair Kit No. 1041, sold by Sears, Roebuck and Co. The orange tin with dark blue bands displays a graphic map of the United States and the Cross Country brand name. It is accompanied by a separate dark blue lid. The collection includes various period repair materials, including several pre-cut rubber patches in black and tan with red protective backings, a roll of rubberized fabric patching material, and a separate small oval handheld metal buffer.
