tbirdismypride Posted June 2, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 2, 2012 Hi everyone, I have a question about biscuit tins of WWI era. Were they round or were they rectangle or both? I would like to see some examples if you have any. I picked up a biscuit tin this morning at the flea market but I am hesitant to put a picture up because I am not sure if its military or just for home use.

Haydn Mine is stamped across the top, National Biscuit Company. The more I look at it I believe it is for home use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds military, put a picture up. It should be about 2 1/4" square by about 12" long or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbirdismypride Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted June 2, 2012 Ok Guys, Here you go. I am really not sure if its military or for home use but it was cheap. Seems like I have seen one of these in a display somewhere but I cannot remember where.... By the way the dimms are 7 1/8 L x 2 3/4 W x 7/8 H.

hawkdriver Posted June 3, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 3, 2012 Well, I've never seen one like that, so I would be inclined to say civilian. Maybe Kration might chime in, he is the resident expert on this kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
