Biscuits on the Base


I saw this old tin on Ebay last year. I kept the pics.


It depicts a fabulous space city on the lid and the sides.


The space base is really well conceived. Do you agree?


It was released by Elkes Biscuits of Staffs, England.

 Do you know them?

    Wow, that is just wonderful. We certainly never had any biscuit tins like that.

    1. Yep, most of ours in the Sixties had more Earthly motifs like puppies and flowers on Paul with brand names like Peek Freens or Huntley and Palmers. Toffee tins were more adventurous in the main.
