Vintage Gloria Swanson order large candy biscuit tin antique 1920s Canco Beautebox by Henry Clive

order Stunning & large, 1920's candy tin featuring the lithographic image & autograph of Silent Film Star, Gloria Swanson. These Art Deco tins were made by Canco Beautebox & showcased the work of Australian artist, Henry Clive, who did a series of images for the company featuring various Paramount stars of the era. His signature was to the left of Gloria's chin in the image but it has worn away after 100 years. Gloria was one of the biggest & wealthiest film stars of the 1920's. A century later, tins such as these are highly collectible & sought after as they are getting harder & harder to find. They are beautiful remnants from the Gilded Age, silent films, the flapper era, prohibition & the Silver Screen, just to name a few.

The tin is large - 7 1/2" in diameter. The lid is removable & shows a decorative orange starbust detail on the lid & base. The maker mark for Canco Beautebox is embossed on the bottom. The image of Gloria is remarkable & done in great detail. She surely was a beauty! The tin itself is black with a mossy green trim on the edge of the lid. The tin once held candies or biscuits (what cookies are called in England). There are a few dings on the top of the lid but they are not noticeable unless you closely inspect & take the lid off & flip it over. The image portrays wonderfully with only the vintage charm of age & time. There are scratches from use, as well as rusty patina on the edges, bottom & inside bottom of the tin. Mind you, this tin is 100 years old. But it is glorious - a perfect word choice for Gloria herself. I would say it is in good to very good antique condition considering its age. What an amazing addition to a collection for anyone who appreciates Art Deco & old films, & the Flapper era.
