A really fabulous atomic design biscuit tin - for a selection of savoury biscuits made by Huntley & Palmers.Huntley & Palmers tin - Cocktail Snacks 1954-1958; 

A small triangular tin with an illustration on the lift-off lid of cocktail glasses and a cherry against a background of yellow with black dots. Huntley & Palmers' stamp appears on the base.

Triangular tins of this type were used throughout the 1950s and 1960s for cocktail snack biscuits. The minimalist jazzy design on the lid of this example, though, is suggestive of an earlier era - the 1920s or 1930s. Manufactured by Huntley Boorne & Stevens using offset litho.
