Vintage Packaging

Vintage Packaging
Taken inside an antiques centre in Wickham, Hampshire.

I couldn't find out much about most of this stuff, except that this vintage packing is a popular seller on the web.

Lutona - was made in the Co-op's cocoa processing plant in Luton from 1902. The factory was demolished in 1970, but I have no idea when the product ceased being sold.

Borwicks - was made in London from around 1844. As far as I know it is still being made in Rotherham, by Kerry Food.

Allinson - their baking yeast was introduced in 1892. The firm is still going today selling bread and baking products.

Orlox - I couldn't find any details, except that this packing was popular in the 1930's.

Best viewed large for more detail. Miss Orlox looks particularly lovely :-)

Great label oldies! Malted milk cocoa with eggs...ew...I feel a little woozy. Super photo, I like the sort of fade-out frame around it.
