This striking vintage Lloyd’s Old Holborn tobacco tin features a bold white background with vivid orange accents and the classic Old Holborn branding. The design includes the well-known image of the Holborn Viaduct, tying the piece to its London heritage. The rectangular tin, with its opening lid and gently worn patina, carries all the charm of mid-20th-century British tobacciana. Its bright colour scheme makes it stand out among more common blue Old Holborn tins, making this a rarer and more desirable collectible.
A Brief History:
Old Holborn tobacco dates back to the early 20th century, named after the historic Holborn district of London, where the brand was first produced. It became renowned for its smooth Virginia tobacco blends and instantly recognizable packaging. While most collectors are familiar with the deep blue tins, the white and orange version—produced for specific markets and limited runs—is much rarer today. These tins, distributed by Lloyd’s, reflect a unique period in the brand’s history and are highly sought-after by tobacciana enthusiasts.
Condition: Good vintage condition with age-related wear, light scuffs, and a lovely aged patina that adds character.
