"Waverley Biscuits Huntley Palmers Tin From Reading In 1903.... Book Boxes"
Fan, I am, fan I will remain... How many children, all over the world, have these boxes made them dream, at first, then salivate then when they plunge their hand into them... I used to part, not that I am as old as these two representatives of the Waverley range but my "grandma had one on a piece of furniture. So, two boxes located side by side, like 16 lithographed books surrounded by their metal belt, aligned, why not, in a library... They are represented in the brand's Christmas catalog in 1903. (There were ten variations of the boxes called Waverley, until 1923 While the first boxes of biscuits bore the name). name of the biscuit manufacturer on the design, it became increasingly unfashionable to use such blatant advertising in the Victorian era From the 1880s onwards, when the company name was only listed on the design. based on the box, boxes have become acceptable objects to use as ornaments or for storage around the home. Here, the references are on the bottom. The majority of Huntley & Palmers biscuit tins were made by Huntley, Boorne & Stevens, they sometimes used other tin manufacturers. This company makes the town of Reading, the city of biscuits.... The detailed photos show how good the condition of these boxes is given their great age. Presenting two is not common... The first bundle reveals the metal on the 'book pagination' side. The colors of the screen prints remain very vivid. Place some more biscuits, individually wrapped to observe the sparkle of the eyes of your little loved ones will always be a treat. Thank you Messrs Huntley and Palmers.
