Lot of two English biscuit tins. The first is a Crawford "Sundial", c. 1926, an upright biscuit tin in the form of a sundial. The gnomon metal is a bit creased on top, but the tin is in otherwise very good condition. One side reads "No Man Can Tether Time or Tide", and on the other side "He that would Thrive must Rise at Five / He that Hath Thriven may Stay Till Seven / He that will Never Thrive Can Lie Till Eleven". The second is a Jacob's "Lucky Wheel and Bank Game", c. 1929, when contents have been consumed, you can put coin in top and wheel on front rotates to tell you your fortune. The sides of the tin are illustrated with anthropomorphic rabbits celebrating and dancing with each other. There are dark scratches on the sides and front of the tin.
Condition: (Good - Very Good).
Item Dimensions: Larger: 9 - 1/2" x 4 - 1/2" x 4 - 1/2".
