Here we have a Mid Century Vintage Riley's Toffee Tin, depicting hunters on horseback in the woods, with Falcons 16.5cm wide

This is a lovely tin, different from the rest in that is has heavily embossed top detailing - The red and silver colouring works well to lift this tin above the rest and I guess at the time lifted the perceived quality of their toffees

Riley's Toffee Rolls were launched in 1907 and made by "Riley Brothers, (Halifax) Limited" from a recipe given to them by their mother. The brothers were Fred Riley & John Herbert Riley. They were manufactured at their Hopwood Lane factory in Halifax, West Yorkshire, which is now a McVitie's site.

In 1953, due to the death of John Herbert Riley, the surviving brother sold the company to Nuttalls and after a number of corporate purchases the company ended up in control of Kraft PLC and produced at the Callard & Bowser operation at their Bridgend Plant.

In the mid 1990s the decision was made to discontinue production of Riley's Toffee Rolls in favour of increased production of the Altoid mints

Condition is pretty good, there is ware and scratches etc but the interior of this one has just a few sporadic rust spots
