Souvenir Tin from Empire Exhibition 1938

The tin lid shows one of the two Scotland Pavilions which sat opposite each other on the Scottish Avenue. This same Scotland Pavilion was pictured on the jigsaw I featured a few weeks ago.

Also displayed on the upper right of the tin’s lid is the Exhibition’s red lion logo.

Souvenir Jigsaw of Empire Exhibition 1938

The jigsaw – made by Waddington’s – shows one of the Scotland Pavilions (there were two of these sited opposite each other on Scottish Avenue,) the Tower of Empire, United Kingdom Pavilion and the Canadian Pavilion plus a troop of charging horse.

The box this one came in was a bit tatty but still striking with the lion rampant logo and Tower of Empire.

There is another Waddington’s jigsaw of the Exhibition featuring a closer view of the Tower of Empire with aeroplanes in the sky overhead and this time with a marching band of bagpipers approaching the foreground. I have that in a cupboard somewhere.
