Battleship cookie tin


Recommended Posts

Hello,

This is an item I bought from an auction for $12 a LONG time ago. It has different battleships/subs/other ships on the side including the USS Arizona, USS Guam, and others. This is the USS Idaho on the front.

Any dating on this item?

Hi Andrew, Nice tin, is there an any manufacturers or biscuit company name printed or embossed into the tin anywhere.

 

As I used to sell cookies and such as a business with my brother some years ago then these things interest me.

 

Here is one that my brother has from the 1920 / 30s, it is by an English company Huntley & Palmers. The pack of cookies on

the left were packaged inside the tank when the turret was lifted off.

 

The cookies are now kept inside the plastic bag to ensure they last longer.

 

 

Cheers ( Lewis )
