An old empty tin of infant feed by Horlicks of Slough. The tin has been stored in an old shed for many years and as a result the lid, rims and inside have varying degrees of rust as can be seen from the pictures. However, despite the odd scratch here and there, the print and information contained on the outside of the tin is still quite clear and legible and the tin itself is sound, despite the rust.
There are some interesting references on the tin including a table detailing an infant feeding schedule and a 'By Appointment to the late King George VI' notice. There appear to be quite a few Horlicks Malted Milk Tablet tins around but I have been unable to find anything which resembles this example of a Horlicks food product for infants, children and expectant and nursing mothers. A nice collectors item and one with an element of historical interest.
I have taken
pictures to show the painted labelling and condition.
