Title: Red Leather, 1952-1953 [Go to resource]
Description: A very bizarre design. As is indicated by the border of cocktail glasses and, in the corners, odd-looking cocktail shakers, this tin originally contained assorted savoury and cocktail biscuits. However, why is the central roundel filled with an image of a crowing cockerel? Is it a joke - a cock tale about cocktails? Early tins humorously imitate real objects, but such verbal-visual punning would be most unusual. The colouring of this design seems more that of the 1930s than the 1950s.
