Lyons' "Toffie Skotch Game", rare antique British candy tin game ca. 1927

Antiques : Chocolate/Candy Tins

 

This very unusual candy tin from "J.Lyons & Co." is actually a board game called the "Toffie Skotch Game".

The idea of the game is that you throw a die, move your counter and end up in "The Home of Toffee" (square 115) by throwing the exact number with the last throw of your die. The game passes through the various stages of toffee manufacture like "Buying Materials", "Weigh Ingredients", "Adding Lyons Flavour", "Urgent Order" along with penalty stops like "Bad Eggs" and "Leaky Churn". It bears the registration number "727024" and thus dates from 1927.

The tin consists of two hinged halves with a closing catch, it is in good condition but the right-hand side is a little crazed.
