An exceptional and rare survivor from Britain’s rich history of biscuit manufacturing, this antique Huntley & Palmers biscuit tin was created for Jacob & Co’s Oyster Crackers and is a true statement piece for collectors of vintage advertising or shop display items.

This large square tin features a stunning red enamelled top band embossed with the classic Huntley & Palmers slogan: “The first name you think of in Biscuits.”

The original glass viewing window in the lid and iron prop arm are still intact, making this tin both displayable and practical.

The front boasts the iconic Jacob & Co’s branding in bold navy lettering on a warm orange field, with “Oyster Cracker – Half Pound” detailed beneath.

Originally used as a countertop dispenser in grocers and sweet shops during the early 20th century, it now makes a brilliant talking piece for kitchenalia lovers, industrial interiors, or retail-themed decor.

Usage:
A standout piece for kitchen shelves, vintage shop displays, or collector’s cabinets. Can be used for storing linens, dry goods, or left empty as a pure decorative item with retail charm.

Care instructions:
Wipe carefully with a soft cloth. Avoid contact with moisture. For decorative use only.
