Title: Adventure, 1939-1941 [Go to resource]
Description: A fantasy scene, in which gaudily coloured but unidentifiable banners billow in the breeze as the warship ploughs forward. Could such a brightly coloured image have anything to do with the fact that this tin was produced during the darkest days of the war for Britain? Sugar was put on the ration in 1940 and the government aimed to reduce biscuit consumption. Production of individual tins such as this - as opposed to the large shop tins - was discontinued. For a while it even looked as if the Reading factory would be closed, although the firm's two auto plants, which did not need much manpower, meant that the name of Huntley & Palmers lived on!
