Blue Colour","description":"\u003cp\u003eI have a good selection of these old miniature tins available in the store.          \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey come in three different colours and biscuit selections: Red, Blue and Yellow.  I have taken a few group images of all the ones that I have. I am listing these individually - they are all in good condition - but with a slight patina of age - which you might expect on little tins that are now nearly 100 years old.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey were all made as sample tins - and were designed to contain tiny biscuits that you could sample to see which ones you liked. They were also purchased as wee gifts and often given as a wee \"stocking filler\" to children at Christmas. They are sweet little antique replicas of the larger tins that would have been on display in Grocer's shops.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey are now highly collectable and take the form of a tin cube with each side measuring 4 cm. The design has been litho-printed on the metal. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is the lovely classic blue coloured one: It has the name of popular Huntley and Palmers Biscuits on each side. This one has: Dessert, Chocolate Mixed, Empire Assorted, and Macaroons (some old brands no longer so fashionable).  On the top of the lid - there is Rich Mixed. The base is a plain tin colour - and the inside still has a shiny patina - but now a little oxidised with age.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Tracked (Small Parcel). This will be applied to your order at the checkout. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56151399694715,"sku":"Grey Cabinet Drawer 7","price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/26062024_0055.jpg?v=1753638511","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/vintage-1930s-miniature-or-sample-tin-for-huntley-and-palmer-biscuits-blue-colour-copy-1","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
