Product description:
A charming piece of British confectionery history, this original Squirrel Confections tin is a delightful survivor from the golden age of sweet-making. Produced by The Squirrel Confectionery Co. Ltd. of Stockport, England, this 1930s-era tin features a beautifully illustrated red squirrel, proudly perched within a “Registered Trade Mark” medallion.
The lid’s bold typography and intricate powder-blue border lend a classic Art Deco flair, while the inner text tells the story of a once-beloved sweet brand known for nostalgic treats like Cherry Lips and Floral Gums. Now a sought-after collector’s item, this tin is both a decorative delight and a sweet slice of British manufacturing heritage.
Perfect for lovers of vintage packaging, kitchenalia collectors, or anyone with a soft spot for squirrels and sugar alike.
