Vintage Christmas tins for display and storage

These vintage Christmas tins were once filled with Elkes biscuits. The lids have children buying hot chestnuts - 20 for 1d - and there are lots of skaters in the background. The style is similar to the other Elkes tin in the shop and may be by the same artist. The sides show more skaters, ladies with mufflers,and men in top hats whizz about on the ice with a few falls happening! Two sides have "Elkes Xmas Assortment" and two state "Elkes Biscuits Ltd. Cardiff & Uttoxeter".
There are two of these available, both early examples. The tins have squared off corners and lovely rolled edges to the inside of the base, they date from the early 1950's. One is in very good condition with a few light scratches to the lid, the sides are clean, as is the base and interior. The lid fits well. There are some very old tape residue marks to the lid edges - these may come off with a specialist cleaner.
The second tin is the same design. The lid has some small rust spots, as does the base. The inside has some tarnishing. This tin also has original tape residue to the lid sides. Both have the brand stamped into the base.
Both tins measure 23.5cm x 22cm x 10cm so are perfect for holding a cake or Christmas biscuit assortment of your own or just adding to a Christmas display.

The price is per tin.

There are lots more Christmas tins and vintage decorations available in the shop.
