According to the August 1902 company journal of Rowntree and Co., York, the present lot is a silver version of the painted tins produced by the firm for presentation by the new King and Queen “for the Coronation Dinners to the poor of London and the Tea to the maid-servants. Their Majesties have been graciously pleased to accept copies of the tins made in silver.” The Rowntree family evidently kept a small number of the silver versions, the offered lot having been given to their head coachman and descended in his family to the present day.
