This 1920 picture depicts a Sports Coupe car-shaped tin. In it were cookies in the shape of numbers and animals.
When I was in school, my dad used to buy a cookie tin that contained cookies in the shape of animals and in Tamil, it was known as 'Bommai Biscutis'-Bommai means doll in Tamil. It was manufactured by J.B. Mangarams'.
This car shaped biscuits tin and its original contents were auctioned for 15,600 pounds ($32,000) in London on Wednesday.
"Experts believe the William Crawford and Sons biscuit tin, sold to an anonymous private British collector, has now become the most expensive in the world."
What a lucky purchase!

Thats a great idea for a cookie box!! Would be even cooler if they had differnt types of cars to choose from!!
Initially I thought this would be a great gift, but $32K is a bit out of my range for anyone this year!
thanks for sharing this idea. I will try to make car from now.
