Title: Huntley & Palmers Christmas Tins, 1920 [Go to resource]
Description: Every year Huntley & Palmers would produce new tin designs and the Christmas market was the main focus of these activities. Christmas tins were sold in their own right as desirable items and the rival biscuit firms would compete to produce the most fancy tins. The tins available in 1920 were Ivory, Tapestry, Biscuit Barrel, Indian and Chinese Jar. The limited range compared to pre-First World War catalogues may reflect the high cost of goods and the strength of the pound that led to a fall in production in the early 1920s.
