Octagonal Biscuit Tin, Romney "Miss Willoughby" (Girl in Pink)

$28.00

A little girl in a big bonnet who has been keeping biscuits company since somebody's grandmother ran the pantry. This is the English sweet tin done right, an octagon with a gilt-scrolled rim and a Romney portrait on the lid, the kind of thing that held shortbread at Christmas and buttons the rest of the year. Honest bit: it is a tin, so expect a little age, light surface wear, maybe a fleck or two, all disclosed once I see the base. For the tin collector and the person who organizes a desk drawer with prettier things than plastic.

Condition: Bright, clean litho with an intact gold border. Check for scratches/scuffs to the gold rim, dents to the octagon corners, and any interior rust or odor, then disclose.
