Comments: This "Custard Creams" sample biscuit tin was made for the small company of "Bee Bee Biscuits Ltd." of Blackpool. The company was established in 1922 as "Blackpool Biscuits", was renamed in 1929 as "Bee Bee Biscuits" and  in the early 1930's they were brought up by "J Lyons". The decoration on the tin includes bees and blossom, the former being an obvious play on the company's name. It has a slot in the lift off lid enabling it to used as a money box or bank. The tin is in good condition, however one side appears to be faded.
