Product code: Macfarlane Lang & Co Antique tin, Three Bears Cottage, Goldilocks, retail Very Rare tin, 1903-4

This is a delectable and very rare Antique MacFarlane Lang & Co Biscuit Tin in the form of the "Three Bears Cottage." retail Father Bear can be seen in the doorway with his chair, Mother is in the downstairs window with her porage bowl and Baby Bear is in the bedroom window by his bed. On the reverse of the cottage, Goldilocks is seen running away. The thatched roof has a chimney and a dormer window. The maker's name is on the base of the tin. The front of the cottage lifts off.

As for dating the tin: Lang's Bakery began in 1817 before becoming MacFarlane Lang in 1841. The first biscuit factory opened in 1886 and changed its name to MacFarlane Lang & Co that year. The business then opened a factory in Fulham, London in 1903, and in 1904 became MacFarlane Lang & Co Ltd. This therefore places the date of this biscuit tin to be 1903 or 1904.

Condition is fair to good, but does have a some age-related wear, mainly to the rear and there's a small dent to the front. The interior is clean.

A good example of a very collectible tin, offered at a realistic price.

Size: 6 inches maximum by 5.5 inches; height 2.6 inches
