Vintage Allen & Hanburys Glycerine & Blackcurrant Pastilles tin

Allen & Hanburys was a British pharmaceutical company founded in 1859. They were known for producing high-quality medicines and health products, including their famous "Allenburys" brand of pastilles and infant foods. The company's products were widely distributed and recognized for their efficacy and branding.

This particular tin advertised their Glycerine & Blackcurrant Pastilles, which were likely used as a throat soother or for medicinal purposes. The "A.D. 1715" mark on the tin refers to the year the company claims its origins, adding a historical touch to its branding. Such tins are now sought after by collectors of vintage advertising and pharmaceutical memorabilia.
