This "Fry's" "Chocolate Creams" box is in "as found" condition. The box would have been used to transport "Fry's" "Chocolate Creams" to the shop keeper and then used to display the contents on the counter. This box would have held 4 LB and they would have been sold by weight. Fry's started making chocolate in 1759 and went through many name changes and moves before making a chocolate bar; or tablet as they were then called; in 1847. The famous Fry's Chocolate Cream was first produced in 1866. The box is made from pine with an original label to front and interior of lid. Both labels have retained a good colour, the one to the inside of lid is more vibrant, particularly the gold lettering and the one to the front has some fading. The label inside has pen marks and loss of colour to the white paper on the top right.

When you open the lid, it swings at an angle to create a red leather writing surface. This reveals a section for ink bottles and pens. The middle section, which has writing tablets, opens in the opposite direction and stands.
