EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming image of a tin of sardines from the 1930s, showcasing a useful and innovative design for opening and serving the fish. The tin, adorned with the classic image of a Portuguese fisherman and his traditional fork, was available for purchase at Staines, Victoria Street in London for just 1 shilling and 3 pence. The design of the tin is noteworthy, as it features a built-in sardine server and opener. The handle of the tin pulls apart, revealing a sharp edge that can be used to easily open the tin. Once opened, the handle can be used as a server, allowing for convenient and mess-free serving of the sardines. Sardines were a popular and affordable source of protein during the 1930s, and this innovative tin design would have been a must-have for any household. The Portuguese fisherman and fork design on the tin adds to its charm and cultural significance, making it a desirable addition to any kitchen or collection. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the history of food packaging and the everyday items that shaped the lives of people during the 1930s. The image is a reminder of the simple pleasures and innovations that have stood the test of time, and continue to be appreciated by generations.
