Condition report
The stickers are very likely 1930s / 1950s - they've been stuck for a while, so we couldn't comment as to whether they would damage the tins if removed. Number of tins and packets with price labels, including Lyons Tea, Fields Chocolate Drops, Dennisons Gummed Labels, Reading Biscuits, Fancy Shortbread, etc. Some packets also with writing in pencil.
