A wonderfully nostalgic vintage Sharp’s toffee tin, cleverly designed as a traditional British post box — and it doubles as a money box! Featuring sweet illustrations of children posting letters and “E II R Post Office” detailing, this piece is full of retro charm.

Over time, the vibrant red has gently faded into a warm, burnt orange hue, giving it a beautifully mellowed patina that only age can achieve. The lid is decorated with a cheerful floral motif, and a coin slot on the back adds a practical twist.

Originally filled with Sharp’s Original Assorted Dairy Toffee and marked:

“By appointment to Her Majesty the Queen, confectioners Edward Sharp & Sons Ltd. Part of the Trebor Group, Made in England.”

A delightful piece of British confectionery history — perfect for collectors, styling, or as a quirky coin tin.

Height: 13cm
Diameter: 8.5cm

Vintage condition: Good vintage condition with some age-related wear and surface marks consistent with use. The natural fading adds to its unique character.
