![[Image: 02-50pv7923.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/02-50pv7923.jpg) PV 7923 = 1947, Ipswich. ![[Image: 02-50pv7923b.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/02-50pv7923b.jpg) Can't find out exactly what a Macdonald's Glengarry biscuit was, but it was made in Glasgow - https://www.flickr.com/photos/robertpool/5771572207/ - "1960s William Macdonald & Sons (Biscuits) Limited, Glengarry Biscuit Works, Earl Haig Road, Hillington and Nasmyth Road, North Cardonald, Glasgow. Biscuit Tin. Inventors of Penguin, YoYo, Munchmallow and Glengarry biscuits." and this Getty archive photo - "Women box Glengarry biscuits at William Macdonald, Glasgow 1961" So Penguins were a Glasgow invention.  |

Interesting way of getting away with no pallets. |

Doesn't look a very secure way to transport a load of fragile biscuits. Maybe a set-up just for camera. |

In the 1950s my mum ran a back street shop. One of the products she sold was biscuits made by Elkes and company in the fine old Staffordshire town of Utcheter. These came in returnable tins, as did many such biscuits no matter the manufacturer. The biscuits were loose inside the paper lined tins, and were weighed into paper bags and sold by the quarter pound. The weighing machine was made by Avery, another local firm. Are the boxes in the picture outers containing tins? https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/193221-elkes-biscuits-tin -- Last edit: 2017-11-04 21:17:36 |

Even worse, in the first thumb the ‘ladder’ is not quite in position. But really, a four axle truck for a couple of biscuits? |

Straight window line and 1947 plate mean DG, rather than 1948+ FG?? |

Almost certainly. Like you also had a family member in the small grocer's shop business. Returnable packaging was the order of the day and would not only keep dry food-stuffs free from dampness and spoiling (central heating being rare) but allowed the product to be displayed with the branding. Also with regular weekly delivery and empty returns ensured you would buy from the same source with the national companies. |

Biscuits in tins, sweets in jars, Corona pop in bottles with the flip top stoppers, beer bottles in crates, vinegar in a barrel, toffee hammers, the lost world of the 1950s. Not to mention loose fags, twist tobacco, Symington’s soup, firewood in bundles and Spangles. -- Last edit: 2017-11-06 16:37:34 |
