20,5x15x4,5 cm

scharnierend deksel met voor en zijkanten die over het blik heen vallen This is a neat, cleverly designed tin. One biscuit advertised on the lid, is the 'Cuddy Biscuit', an unsweetened type which also, interestingly, features on the 'All Over the World' advertising sheet of 1900. Huntley & Palmers were proud of the fact that their biscuits travelled to all the corners of the world, a fact subtly underlined by this tin. The title of the tin may also be intended to allude to the Orient Line, which started in the 1870s and was a prominent carrier of both people and goods all over the British Empire. 30,000 copies of this tin were made. Manufactured by Huntley Boorne & Stevens using the offset litho process and embossing. info Reading Museum
