Archiving the database of tins is a work in progress.
Note that the names in bold and in this color are the ones which, so far, have a tin displayed on this page.

NOTE:  Photographing tins begins with the cover as the shape, & then the body or panels begin with the seam on the left & turning the tin clockwise.  Repeat designs on the sides/ends & front/back are not additional photos.  If the bottom is empty, there is no photo.  Sometimes bottom info is given without a photo.  In certain situations all photos are not shown (as in this first Campbell's S&P shaker set).

7 of 42 - Everton - by Everton Toffee Co., El Segundo, CA 90245; https://www.evertontoffee.com/
On the tin it says Molly Bushell made her first batch of candy in 1753, in her village of Everton, England, the world recognized birthplace of toffee.    

Toffee - Make your own!  So simple:  butter, sugar, & maybe water or other liquids; basics:  boil over moderate heat (medium) till 280-300°; pour onto an ungreased cookie sheet - spread a bit, top w/chocolate - melt, spread.  You might put almonds in or on top, 1 side or both, etc.  Lots of variety to your liking❤😉.  Grandma's recipe or online!
