The 293-tin Lewis Collection was amassed over a 34-year period from 1980 to 2014 and could fetch £10,000 when it goes under the hammer at McTear’s on Wednesday.
Vintage fans will have the chance to bid on nearly 300 antique biscuit tins in Glasgow this week in the largest ever UK auction of the items.
The biscuit tins are being sold by Sharon Lewis, daughter of collector D.B. ‘Barrie’ Lewis who spent a lifetime scouring antique shops across the country looking for rare and unusual containers. In 2001 Barrie bequeathed the collection to his daughter and, upon his death in 2022, she moved the tins from the Midlands to her home in East Lothian.
