Antique Advertising - Shop Display Glass Meredith & Dew Biscuit Jar with Lid

A highly collectable and decorative shop counter biscuit jar with lid made for Meredith & Dew biscuits. 

The clear glass would have proudly shown and displayed the biscuits while it sat countertop in a grocery store. The jar is embossed and reads "Meredith & Drew LTD. Biscuits". 

The jar is an iconic piece of advertising used for biscuits and confectionery of the time, drawing customers in and encouraging sales. Shop keepers would have dispensed biscuits into bags from the jar, continuously restocking it. 

A lovely collectors item that would look great displayed in a cabinet with other advertising pieces, confectionery collectables, kitchenalia or shop display items. More unusual to find these with glass lids  - More commonly seen with tin lids.  

Also an ideal way to hold small items or to add decor to a country style / rustic kitchen. 

Condition: Good order with nice clear etched writing. The lid has some nibbles around the edge from many years of being on and off but there are no cracks or major areas of loss.
