Ronuk Furniture Cream metal can

1/12th Scale Tin of Ronuk furniture cream.

It was in 1896 that Ronuk was registered as a trademark (number 192585). The word ‘Ronuk’ was an Anglicised form of a word suggested by an ex-Indian Army officer signifying brilliance. The company also took the opportunity of registering the name spelt backwards – Kunor. It is amusing to note that the famous polish might have been called ‘Taisk’ because this was the runner-up in the list of suggested names.
