Rare miniature novelty sample tin in the shape of a butterfly. Circa 1910.
This rare miniature butterfly tin is unmarked but is very similar to the Rowntrees
cocoa sample tins made in the early part of the 20th Century. I think this may be
a 'Green hairstreak butterfly' but I am happy to be corrected.
It measures 2" by 1.25" by 0.5" and is is good period condition with some light
scratches on the lid and wear on the sides and two very small splits in the lid, each one
is about 1-2 mm long so doesn't really detract from the overall condition and
the lid still fits neatly and tightly.
Please view all the photos to assess the condition and I am very happy
to answer any of your questions.
Being offered with a very low starting price
and no reserve to the highest bidder.
