Mc Gavin's Princess Fruit Cake

[Flying10uk]

I have rediscovered one of several similar Canadian fruit cake tins that I still have, sadly now missing the cake, which were sent to my family during WW2, in "food parcels" by a family friend living in Canada. What is interesting is the fantastic artwork on the side of the tin and one can imagine a family's life in black and white 1940's wartime Britain being brightened up a little after opening up a package, from Canada, and finding this tin inside.

If memory serves me correctly the other similar tins are all the same size and all Mc Gavin's Fruit Cake but the artwork has been varied a little between tins but is of a similar nature.

On this particular example the lid has suffered somewhat from poor storage but some of the others that I have may be in better condition.

Does anyone actually remember consuming this brand of fruit cake?
