This collectable Marks & Spencer novelty biscuit tin is shaped like an iconic red London double-decker bus (Route 159 to Paddington Basin). It features a removable Union Jack print lid with "Marks & Spencer Ltd." scripted across the top. The bus windows display playful illustrations of historic British figures, royalty, eccentric passengers, and animals enjoying shortbread and tea. Originally produced for the M&S Scottish Shortbread Selection, the base bears a printed best-before date of 10/04/2013, dating its release to circa 2012.
