Title: Ancient Lock, 1896 [Go to resource]
Description: This tin was the first of a series to be produced in this shape and size - 45,000 copies were issued. In a sense, the design is a rather heavy variation on the imitation basket, bag and suitcase tins which were produced at the same time. In fact, it uses the same size and shape of tin as 'Orient', 1899. The simulated wood-effect on this tin was popular in domestic interiors during this period - wooden door and panels, for example, were painted in brown and painstakingly feathered with lighter paints to recreate the wood grain!
