What's for sale?
This is a vintage 1960s, branded metal tin for Huntley & Palmers cocktail biscuits. It has a separate, non-hinged lid.
The design was introduced around 1955, with the word "Cocktail" in red in the middle of each letter and a dark brown background. This example appears to be faded on the front from sunlight, because the dark brown remains on the sides.
