This is an original antique biscuits box produced by McCormick’s Mfg. Co. Limited, featuring period graphics and multi-panel printed decoration. The box displays the company name prominently on all sides, with illustrated imagery including a child in period dress and biscuit-themed motifs.

The reverse panel depicts the McCormick’s factory complex in London, Canada, along with a list of branch cities including Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Halifax, and Saint John—an impressive snapshot of early national distribution.

This is an empty original box, offered strictly as vintage packaging / advertising ephemera.

Estimated Date

Circa 1910s–early 1920s 

Why this dating makes sense:

The illustration style and typography are consistent with late Edwardian / early interwar packaging

The branch list reflects a pre-Depression expansion footprint

The absence of later regulatory markings, nutrition panels, or modern branding elements suggests pre-1930 production

By the 1930s, biscuit packaging more commonly shifted to tins and simplified graphics

For these reasons, this antique biscuits box is best described as earlier than the 1930s, most likely 1915–1925.

This piece represents a scarce survival of fragile cardboard packaging from the early 20th century - wonderful piece for collectors of Canadian manufacturing or food advertising!
