Title: Thin Captain, early 1940s [Go to resource]
Description: Thin Captain was one of several 'fancy biscuits' introduced in the early nineteenth century to meet a growing market for biscuits. The scroll decoration, the lettering and the wax seal used on this tin (as on the Dutch advertising booklet for Thin Captain Biscuits, also on the website) suggests that the 'Captain' behind these biscuits was something of a pirate! The tin in the Museum of Reading collection has a wartime label stuck on side referring to National Emergency and requesting the return of the tin to the grocer.
