I missed your post showing the Speedking tin - very nice!!!

We were out shopping yesterday, and spotted this toffees tin in the new Christmas goodies section - quite a smart tin in the shape of an old van, with a small clasp keeping the two halves together.

Seems to be the season for new tin launches, this fine (and quite large) biscuit tin was found at M&S t'other day





Would look even better if 'aged' a little, kicked around the garden, scuffed, buried for 5 years, left in the sun etc etc

Interesting!

MS 1884 - issued in Stirlingshire.

I should have been Hartlepool where (St.) Michael Marks (MM = Middlesex) started Marks Penny Bazaar. (MPB = Surrey). Technically, Thomas Spencer (TS = Dundee) didn't join until 1894.

Crew of three? Two with their noses glued to the windscreen to see where the dim PL700's are taking them & one relaxing - apparently with a spare steering wheel?

Happy Boxing Day!

Mike

The Sainsbury's truck is indeed a TT Ford. Probably 1926 or 1927. It has demountable rims.

I would like to know what vehicle is represented by the prime mover on the Belgian Chocolate artwork. Looks decidedly Yank to me. Could it be a Diamond T or perhaps a White?

Seems that there is quite a range of Classic Wheels choccies, I need to find somewhere that sells the bar with the Alfa on it. If anyone sees it could they let me know please?

Just to update the thread, here's a tin I found recently for Rington's tea.

I've seen these on a certain auction site once or twice, but have always been outbid. I think they're collected as, unlike most tins like this, it's based on a real vehicle, namely the 5cwt Fordson E494C van.
