From sklo42: A very special biscuit barrel and a story to go with it too!
The BBC expert in the image above is Eric Knowles. He is the proprietor of Scottish Antiques which curiously is based in the south of England. He also sells on ebay uk as Scottish Antiques if that's of any interest to anyone.
