Title: Miniature tin, unknown date [Go to resource]
Description: Miniature tins were first issued by Huntley & Palmers in 1922 decorated with the garter and buckle design. They were described as 'Miniature tins packed with miniature biscuits - A replica of the foundation of a good biscuit stock'. These tins were often given to children as presents. From 1928 pictorial images began to appear on the tins. The humour of such miniature tins lies in the fact that they mimic the very large 7 lb retail tins that would have been familiar in every grocer's shop.
