Shippam's Sausage Boxes (Pair)

Shippam's began in 1786 as a grocery store in Chichester, England. Charles Shippam opened the store initially selling butter, cheese and meat collected from the West Country, but later expanded to create a line of sausages that were so popular that they became known as the "Celebrated 'Chichester' Sausage". This vintage pair of transport boxes from the early 1920s would have originally carried glass jars filled with the famous sausages.
