Wellington Knife Polish

Wellington Knife Polish by John Oakley & Sons Ltd, an original piece of packaging from a bygone era and a wonderful survivor of everyday household history. This unused example retains its original contents, making it an especially appealing collectible for enthusiasts of vintage advertising, kitchenalia and social history.
The paper label shows some gentle discolouration in places and the metal tin has a few age-related marks, all of which are entirely in keeping with its age and add to the authentic charm of the piece.
Measuring 13.5cm in height with a diameter of 7.5cm, it has a pleasing shelf presence and displays beautifully amongst collections of antique tins and domestic advertising items.
A fascinating and increasingly scarce reminder of a time when keeping cutlery polished was an important part of household routine, and a lovely decorative piece with plenty of character.
