Comments: This biscuit tin is
the same shape and size as the orange coloured pigskin looking
"Handbag" tin from 1904. This olive green version is
decorated with an attractive Art Nouveau design. "Reticule" was issued
in 1905 and it is much rarer as only 60,000 were made by
"Huntley, Boorne and Stevens".
A reticule is another word for a lady's handbag or purse, often with
a drawstring.
Compare to h1607 "Handbag".
