Product Description and Photos of Antique & Vintage item

Antique Harry Vincent Ltd flowers and blue bird toffee tin. We believe this dates to very early pre first world war (1914 to 1918) so definitely antique. In amazing condition for the year and very decorative. Slight wear to tin lid near flower. Please see picture but does not detract from the item ,26 cm wide 20 cm depth 8 cm height.

Vincent had similar ideas to Cadbury and the Frys with regards to the workplace being a pleasant environment to work.

Vincent's toffee was originally called Harvino, but after watching Maeterlink's play 'The Blue Bird of Happiness' he renamed the product Blue Bird.

Blue Bird Toffee left their West Midlands site in October 1998, and the company then traded in Hull as part of Needler's. In December 2021, permission was granted for the part demolition of the former Midlands site and conversion of the remainder Grade II listed building into apartments. The rest of the site will be used for housing.

Needler's changed its name after acquiring Blue Bird to become Needler Bluebird. In 2002 Needler Bluebird was purchased by Ashbury Confectionery and discontinued all lines previously made by Needler's and Blue Bird.

Ashbury donated the company's collection of historic Blue Bird packaging to the Black Country Living Museum.

Great item, was a glass jar with contents, well packaged, with a fragile label attached, arrived no problems. A near perfect example of a 50s/60s Hopkin and Williams chemical bottle. The postage was fair, the item was as described and a good value, especially with contents.
