Large Vintage Shop Counter Display Tin for ROWNTREE’S CLEAR GUMS / Victorian Confectioners’ deals Box / Antique Store Fixings & Fittings
ROWNTREE'S CLEAR GUMS COUNTER DISPLAY TIN
A very scarce-to-find tin, especially in this size, and featuring the emblems of Royal Warrants to both His Majesty the King & Her Majesty the Queen.
The tin was designed with the striking graphics on the inside of the lid (whilst the top of the lid is plain) to attract customers' attention to ROWNTREE'S CLEAR GUMS. The last two photographs feature delightful advertising posters from the time. In the early part of deals the 20th century Clear Gums were replaced with the phenomenally successful ‘Fruit Gums' and the name became Rowntrees without an apostrophe.
A wonderful tin from an era long gone although the company still exists today. But not many shop counter display tins survived. The condition is commensurate with its considerable age and the lid is wonky. But the graphics are clear and strong.
