Peek Frean and other floral tins

I began collecting tins with flowers many years ago. One particular type of tin, those made by Peek Frean, are my dearest and are on display in the ken of the house (And yes, I did photograph all these tins. A testimonial to just how beautiful these actually are, considering what a novice photographer I am.)

Did you know I have a big thing going on with floral tins and these are some of the best I have ever seen! Oh my! My favourite is the one on the top row on the right (the roses one) and I've been looking for one like that and now I know it's a Peek Frean that will help my search.
Thank you for sharing them.
Your blog is lovely

Thanks for sharing these pictures! I am a bit obsessed with collecting PF tins right now...I probably got my first tins 25 years ago, and now I'm running out of ways to display them. Do you know of any way to identify their age? I have been searching around online with no luck.
