 Best wishes for Christmas from a bloody  wet and flooding Australia

Here's an old Holly Tea tin that's seen more Christmases than I have

Here's another Holly Tea probably even earlier than the first

Nice to get  'em out at this time of the year

 Neither of the above has any makers name or related information on the tin 
Anyone heard of Holly Tea ?

Rings a bell, but had too much Brandy sauce already.

Great tins and two i would certainly add to the collection given half the chance.

Cheers

Al.

Anyone else care to hazard a guess  .. One tin or two ?

 It's two tins, I just reread the text- doh! I was just too eager to give young Al a ribbing. Although I would pay handsomely for you to publish it was only one tin- smile

Like that Warrens .

I found a few of those  about 20 years ago west of Brisbane.
They don't seem to turn up any more .
Do you have any other Warrens stuff .
I have a couple of other Warrens tins that are lithographed , and not Paper Labels
