Description

An old chocolate box used for storing two printing blocks. The lid of the box has a red banner that reads, "Glass with Care" and on the sides are a trade mark and the name of the chocolates. The box was sealed with paper tape that is still attached although previously ripped to gain entry. The inside of the lid shows a coloured image of several boats filled with people at Henley.
