A vintage Huntley and Palmer Ltd English square metal decorated tin which originally held baked goods or biscuits (what we call cookies). A slightly different version of this tin with the same decoration is pictured on the Reading Museum website dated 1962 - 1964. That one has rounded corners and is more modern looking - this one may be older.
The tin is 9-1/4 by 8-3/4 inches square and just under 5" deep. All sides except the bottom are decorated with colorful litho floral arrangements on a light green background. There is some age-appropriate wear as shown but no dents, dings, or major scratches.
