Such trade cards would have been pasted on the inside of the boxes manufactured by the firm. The card includes an engraving of the Royal Coat of Arms in recognition of the firm's patronage by HRH the late Duchess of Kent, the mother of Queen Victoria who died in 1861. As the card refers to the 'late Duchess of Kent' is can be dated to around 1861.
