The Bourbon was introduced in 1910 (originally under the name Creola) by the Bermondsey biscuit company Peek Freans, of London, originator of the Garibaldi biscuit.I loved the look of this giant Bourbon tin and thought it would be fun to make into a guitar...didn't expect it to sound so good!!These are still available from M&S for about a fiver. They are selling on eBay for much more...and with no biscuits in??!!My husband Dave spotted them. He also got a Custard Cream one which he is planning to use to make his first guitar when he can find the time. They'd be great to play together : -)
