Hello Diana and everyone
oh my, what a fascinating find. I simply had to google the oxo company to
find out more (I remember OXO cubes neatly wrapped in foil, but they were
sold in cardboard boxes, not tin. At our house they went into beef/barley
soup ). The earliest OXO cubes in a tin were 1910!
Some years ago (more than I care to remember) I visited the shop kept by
Iris Martin in Clickers Yard, Olney - she sold various sundries, old and
new, for lacemaking, some of my first bobbins came from Iris when she had a
shop in the main street near to Harry Armstrong's old lace factory.

Hello Rosemary again, and everyone
