Lithographically printed tinplate box produced for The Briton Ferry Steel Co. Ltd. to commemorate the coronation of 1937. Photograph of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth on obverse of lid, with an aerial photograph of Albion Steel Works, with Briton Ferry Steel Works in the background on reverse of lid. Its size suggests that it may have originally contained confectionary or possibly tobacco or cigarettes. It was almost certainly produced for distribution to employees of the company which owned Albion Steel Works, Briton Ferry Steel Works and a group of tinplate and sheet works.
