Good Morning All.....

Just one more for your information.....

This tea caddy / tin is seen quite often on ebay and other auction sites and marked as Boer War but I am afraid THIS VERSION was made in the 1960's and early 1970's....

Now, there was one made during the war but it did not have the markings as shown in the last two pictures "Best Tea" and "Dodo Design" - Made in England"..... There is also one with 8 sides made by the same company at the same time, I have not seen an period original in the same shape.....

Hope this is of some help.....

The last 3 pictures.....

Hello Mike,

Many thanks for this information.
A few have turned up recently on ebay, the sellers have listed as reproduction though.
Apparently sold in Carnaby Street in the 1960's

Cheers
Paul

Gentlemen,
LOL, I cannot help but feel the obvious expose to ridicule thing here is the Dodo Designs Made in England!

Hi Everyone......

Just makes you laugh.....

There are 5 of these tins in various areas of our fav. auction site and only 1 says that it is from the 1960's.....
