Combining the street view reference of a 2008 South Kensington (18 Sussex Place, old Brompton Road) branch and a Kilburn Road Edwardian postcard - AI eerily brought my great-grandfather's branch alive again, as it was in the 1900s.

This vintage antique tin and brass milk or cream can recently sold on eBay. If you inspect the clearly-stamped lettering displaying possibly its most southerly branch on the Brighton Road in Coulsdon, the letter spacing and alignment weren't of paramount importance on that particular day of manufacture! Dating from 1890-1910, the can's triangular brass flap served a dual utility purpose: firstly an anti-spill hinge: it reinforced the lid's tension, preventing milk or cream from slopping out during cart deliveries; and secondly for cart mounting: the cutout design allowed the deliveryman to easily hook the smaller container onto a milk cart or a much larger master transport churn. The "Hanamada REGISTERED" mark (Handmade?) is a stamp specifically struck onto the heavy brass triangle hinge of late-Victorian and Edwardian hand-delivered cream cans.It signifies a registered hardware design or trademark rather than the dairy itself.
