This box first appears in the 1927 catalogue: -

"Also supplied marked "Tea" and "Sugar", holds 2lbs. Sugar. 6/11 each"

and also appears in the 1933 "Banda Ware" price list: -

"Banda Wood Square Provision Containers. Attractive grained Walnut or Mahogany. Lettered on front: "Coffee," "Tea," "Sugar," "Biscuits," "Rice," "Sago," "Tapioca," or supplied with matt panel unmarked. Any special naming up to about eight letters, at 6d. each container extra. Made in the popular 2lb size only, 4¼ in. square X 5 in. high. Price 3/9 each, Colours 5/11 each."

The fact that these boxes were also moulded in "Bandalasta" is confirmed by the picture below.

According to Frank Brookes (2008), later versions of this box "lost" the bottom ridge.
