Antique silver tin of "QUALITY STREET CHOCOLATE" from the UK. Established in 1936, "Quality Street" chocolates have been on sale for 88 years, making them the oldest in the UK. They are a chocolate that almost every British person has tasted at least once. This chocolate is so essential to the Christmas season for the British public that every household has a box, making it a familiar treat. It's an assortment of chocolates with various flavors, and especially during the Christmas season, the colorful cellophane and foil wrappers are perfect for adding a festive touch. The canned sets are popular, and the discussions and squabbles over favorite flavors within families are a never-ending source of amusement, making it a very popular chocolate. During its long history, there was a time when it was sold in special silver tins, and this item is a very rare one from that era. "Quality Street" is actually manufactured in the UK by Nestlé, a major Swiss food company. This particular item was found and purchased over 20 years ago in a silver antique shop in Zurich, Switzerland. It has a substantial weight and a heavy glass window, giving it a very luxurious feel. The material is not identifiable as genuine silver due to the lack of markings on the tin, and the fact that it oxidizes and turns black when exposed to air suggests that it is likely silver-plated. As it is a very old item, there is overall blackening, but the lid opens and closes smoothly, and the inside is in very clean condition. However, please understand that this is an antique and purchase it for display purposes. Size: Φ13cm x H7.5cm
