Lot of four Huntley & Palmer biscuit tins. The first is "Showman", c. 1893, with a picture on the lid of a man leading a bear and on the front a Punch & Judy puppet show with children watching, a goat balancing on a ball, a clown, a dog perform, acrobats performing on the street. On the back is a pair of elephants.

It is scuffed and scratched all over. Third is a "Baronial Hall", c. 1887, with some minor scuffs. Fourth is a "Children's Party", c. 1885, with children depicted on the lid having a Christmas party, four images in the corner and decorated with holly and mistletoe.
