Riley’s Toffee tins were once a sweet treat from the heart of Yorkshire — but today, they’re treasured pieces of advertising art. This embossed tin, with its vibrant red and silver border and classic hunting scene, captures the craftsmanship and style of post-war England. Once filled with toffees, now filled with nostalgia — a charming addition to any kitchen shelf, vintage display, or advertising collection.
