Oblong folio. 13.5 x 10.25 in.

Original black pebbled cloth, spine stiffened w/ wood spacers, covered in black cloth (minor bowing to leaves, very minor wear to corners, front outer hinge just starting), still a VG copy, w/ pencil date of 1940 on front pastedown. First edition of this scarce and exceptional photographic sample catalogue filled with the styles of Needler chocolate box assortment and chocolate packaging in the first years of World War II. Initially chocolates had been packed as unwrapped bars in the Victorian era, with paper labels displayed on the counter. Later gold printing, and metal foils repeated the luxury message of chocolate. Inspired by the innovations of Cadbury, the designs for many British fancy chocolate boxes were prized by the British as special gifts, to be used as trinket or button boxes, and even cut out and saved in scrapbooks. The chocolate boxes in this catalogue include mixed assortments in faux 3-drawer cabinets, decorated with fancy ribbons, chromolithograph and colour-printed covers featuring historic scenes, pets, flowers,Art Deco designs, gold foil, and more. Of special interest are the wonderful Needler's figurine bowls and boxes featuring porcelain figurines dressed in silk fabrics, atop bowls, or boxes, as well as a splendid pair of porcelain bookends "Sweet & Twenty" to hold up the customer's chocolate boxes. Needler's began as Fred Needler Ltd. in 1902 when established in Hull by Fred Needler (1865-1932), who began as a confectioner's assistant in the 1880s. The company was a pioneer in fair treatment of his workforce, incorporated profit-sharing for the staff from the beginning, and covered sick pay, retirement benefits, and even established holiday homes in British seaside resort towns. By 1940, the company was one of the largest businesses in Hull with over 2000 employees. The company continued to operate until acquired through multiple buyouts by several different corporations until the label was acquired by Ashbury Confectionary, and the factory was closed in Hull in 2002.
