Never seen a full one for sale. That would be rare. And rare is an over used term in this hobby.

Cheers, Ade.

Just got home from a trip to the local Garden Centre. A small collectables shop has opened there in a nice wooden hut. The tin was full of kid's coloured glass marbles. I saw the colour of the sides of the tin and realised what it was. Luckily the lid was underneath it.

I already have one of these, but could not turn it down at £8.

Cheers, Ade.

Nice examples. Thanks for showing them.

I just got this one from a tiny fleamarket. It has a bit of surface rust all around and the seam was partly open which was an easy repair. Not bad for €2,50 (just over £2)...

I must admit I thought of that too, but I could not find any evidence of them using that abrieviation. But a good possible candidate.

Cheers, Ade.

Me as well but I am pretty sure Peek Freans only made biscuits and similar. I think they got swallowed up (no pun intended) by United Biscuits in the UK but that the name is still around elsewhere.

what is the different betwin green box and brown box?





Thanks!!!

I expect it will just be a manufacturers variation or a paint-batch variation.
The photography could also be partly responsible as these khaki colours are surprisingly difficult to photograph accurately.

Oz is correct. No problems with either one.
