Rare Large Tin with Hinged Lid with Decorative Interior","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a highly collectable 1920s or 1930s large-size tin. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt would be a good box for storing pencils, stationery etc as it is a nice long size but slimmer in height. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eI have not been able to find another of these antique advertising tins for Bassett's Original Liquorice All-Sorts. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis one is a burnt orange colour with the name of the confectionary on the top - and each of the sides. The lettering is in black with a gold edging. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe lid is hinged along the top - the base is in good condition with no rust or dents - it has oxidized a little with age - and has a nice antique patina to the tin, as photographed. The hinge is secure and without issues. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe best bit is the lid which has a printed image of an antique white card box of All-Sorts - in all their glorious rainbow colours. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eYou could line the bottom of the tin with some white paper and full up with the sweets and use as a display item in an old-fashioned sweetie shop. Originally, this tin would have sat with its lid up - on the counter of a sweetie shop and filled with little waxed packets of the sweets - the image you could see on the interior of the lid would be enough to tempt you. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eProbably a tin for the more specialist collector - who will know how hard it is to find nice examples of this rare tin. Only could find one other online - and that had been sold! \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThere are some little minor scratches here are there to the external paintwork, not disfiguring and commensurate with age. No dents or rusting. You won't be disappointed with it. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDimensions: Length is just over 11 inches. The width is just over 7 inches and the height is just under 2 3\/4 inches.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePostage in the UK will Recorded Delivery and Tracked with the Royal Mail.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39409375215680,"sku":"Sold for £45","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/1930s-art-deco-bassetts-liquorice-all-sorts-tin-rare-large-with-hinged-lid-decorative-interior-vintage-tins-720.webp?v=1786433946","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/1930s-art-deco-bassetts-liquorice-all-sorts-tin-decorative-interior","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
