Co-operative "Ceres - the goddess of wheat" cake tin, c1930

A lovely metal tin this, for what looks to have been a kind of tea loaf, although it must have been small as the tin isn't big - I wonder if it was an exhibition sample tin? The tin notes that it originated from the Crumpsall Bakery in Manchester that was for decades the main home of the Co-operative Wholesale Society's baking, cake and biscuit production.
