Phoenix Biscuit Co. ‘King Edward VIII Accession’, rect., ½ lb. Biscuit Tin, c.1936

Phoenix Biscuit Co. Melbourne, ‘King Edward VIII Accession’, rectangular ½ lb. (7 ozs.) Biscuit Tin, with paper-label on the bottom, c.1936 (rare small size) – see below for further info

This is in excellent condition for an 85 y.o. tin & was released by a few biscuit companies, such as Arnotts, S & A, etc.  It is an exceptionally rare tin, as Edward was only on the Throne for a few weeks before he abdicated and therefore not many of these tins were produced; there is also a larger one of these King Edward tins.
