Lot 321:
A Group of Vintage Lithographed Tin Biscuit Tins and a Metal Locomotive Model
Description
A group of four decorative objects, comprising three vintage-style lithographed tinware containers and one metal locomotive model. The three vehicle-shaped containers are designed as biscuit or cookie tins, consistent with “early biscuit tins” noted in web research. The yellow van is marked “WM MORRISON,” “Est. 1899,” “JAMES ST. BRADFORD, OKLAHOMA,” and “4854.” The red vehicle features text such as “Fine Quality Cookies,” “Eat Pure Cookies,” and “Only the best delivered to you.” The third van, split olive-green and black, displays “RING” and “TV” along with a stylized “R” logo. These vehicles evoke the aesthetic of early 20th-century delivery vehicles. The fourth item is a black and gold metal locomotive model, clearly marked with the year “1884” and mounted on a small wooden base, reflecting a late 19th-century steam engine design.
