First edition of this scarce and exceptional photographic sample catalogue filled with the styles of Needler chocolate box assortment and chocolate packaging in the first years of World War II. Initially chocolates had been packed as unwrapped bars in the Victorian era with paper labels displayed on the counter. Later gold printing and metal foils repeated the luxury message of chocolate. Inspired by the innovations of Cadbury the designs for many British fancy chocolate boxes were prized by the British as special gifts to be used as trinket or button boxes and even cut out and saved in scrapbooks. The chocolate boxes in this catalogue include mixed assortments in faux 3-drawer cabinets decorated with fancy ribbons chromolithograph and colour-printed covers featuring historic scenes pets flowersArt Deco designs gold foil and more. Of special interest are the wonderful Needler’s figurine bowls and boxes featuring porcelain figurines dressed in silk fabrics atop bowls or boxes as well as a splendid pair of porcelain bookends “Sweet & Twenty” to hold up the customer’s chocolate boxes. Needler’s began as Fred Needler Ltd. in 1902 when established in Hull by Fred Needler 1865-1932 who began as a confectioner’s assistant in the 1880s. The company was a pioneer in fair treatment of his workforce incorporated profit-sharing for the staff from the beginning and covered sick pay retirement benefits and even established holiday homes in British seaside resort towns. By 1940 the company was one of the largest businesses in Hull with over 2000 employees. The company continued to operate until acquired through multiple buyouts by several different corporations until the label was acquired by Ashbury Confectionary and the factory was closed in Hull in 2002.

Engraved portrait of James Ashley in cartouche flanked by ornate pedestals supporting two punch bowls with engraved caption as above by Thomas Worlidge. 1 vols. 7-9/16 x 5-3/4 in. Scarce trade card of James Ashley proprietor of the London Coffee House and Punch-House 1731-1776 who was "London's leading purveyor of Punch in the eighteenth century" Wondrich Punch p. 65 and "the world's first celebrity mixologist the first man to become famous for compounding and selling a mixed drink" ibid p. 172. Ashley a former cheese merchant opened his Punch-House in 1731 in Ludgatehill London. Extensive advertising in London papers as well as the distinct ornate pedestals surmounted by iron punch bowls which flanked its entrance made the London Punch-House one of the most well-known drinking establishments in the city. Clientele included Hogarth Boswell Oliver Goldsmith and Benjamin Franklin. A large sign outside of the Punch-House echoes the caption on this trade card "Pro bono publico. James Ashley in 1731 first reduced the price of punch raised its reputation and brought it into universal esteem." Ashley did indeed reduce the price of punch - from 8 shillings for punch made from a quart of arrack to 6 shillings - but his great innovation was to offer punch in smaller portions in servings as small as two ounces. These small servings made to order for the customer were the precursor to the modern cocktail. This trade card is engraved by Ashley's friend Thomas Worlidge 1700-1766 dubbed "the English Rembrandt" who also engraved portraits of Ashley's wife and one Mrs. Graywood the bar-keep at the London Punch-House.
