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. This 1894 sheet prominently displays the company's royal warrants and its patent fastener for tins. The tins available were Village, Mail, Harmony, Athletic, Amboyna, Gipsy, Pompeian, Olden Times, Tortoiseshell, Fables, Oak and Showman. | Format: | image/jpeg | License: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.exe?a=query&p=gateway&f=generic_sitetext%2ehtm&_IXFIRST_=1&_IXMAXHITS_=1&cms_con_core_subtype%3acms_con_text_what=copyright&%3acms_sys_group=%22sopse%22 | Publisher: | Huntley & Palmers | Rights holder: | Reading Borough Council (Reading Museum Service) | Subjects: | social history trade advertising tin biscuit | Temporal: | start=1894-01-01; end=1894-12-31; | Source: | Sense of place SE | Identifier: | http://www.sopse.org.uk/ixbin/hixclient.... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
