Pressed steel 'tin'. Hinged lid printed with design incorporating allied nation's flags. In 1914, the City of York sent a gift of a decorative tin full of Rowntree’s chocolate to all of York’s men then serving in the armed forces. This was organised by the Lord Mayor, John Bowes Morrell, and the Sheriff of York, Oscar Rowntree, both of whom were directors of Rowntree’s.
