Comments: This the second in the series of three biscuit tins that "Huntley and Palmer" produced in the form of an artist's palette. This version was manufactured in 1901 by "Huntley, Boorne and Stevens", it was titled "Palette" and is probably the most attractive of the trio.
The sides of the tin show all the popular forms of transportation from 1822 to 1901, from the year the company was founded to the year that this tin was produced. They include a horse and carriage, a stage coach, a bicycle, a tandem and even a motor car! The palette has three realistic looking paint brushes on the lid, a nice feature!
The tin is in very good condition, however inside there are two treated areas of oxidization.
