Lot of five Huntley & Palmer biscuit tins. The first is "Scandinavian", c. 1896, a rare tin. The lid is hanging on by one hinge and the image is rusted and scratched. The second is "Seaside", c. 1890, with very nice illustrations of Victorian children and adults on the beach making sandcastles with sand pails, and on the lid are children riding a go-kart. 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. There is an image of a sad-looking man with a red outfit, probably Father Christmas or Santa Claus. Fifth 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.
