I'm looking for three bits of information on Everton Toffee - first
made by Molly Bushell (1746 - 1818) in Everton, England.

I would like to purchase a Everton Toffee tin, if there's a tin (candy
tin) collector store online.  Can you help me to locate an Everton
Toffee tin?

The next best would be a photograph of the Everton Toffee tin.  It's
my understanding that the candy recipe left the Bushell family and was
sold to the NOBLETTS company in 1894.  Somehow the Barker & Dobson
company had the recipe and wrapped the Everton toffee around a mint
(Everton Mints).  The Barker & Dobson company was/is ? now owned by
Trebor Basset.

My next questions - how can I contact the company historians at the
Trebor Basset or Barker & Dobson companies?  Can you locate the
mailing address for either.

Finally - is there a candy or confection museum in England where I can later
get background information?

Thank you -

Hello, kyraeh.

You might do well to subdivide this into several separate questions,
priced appropriately. As it stands, a Researcher would have to find
many disparate pieces of information in order to post an answer.
Failure to find even one of these pieces of information will mean that
the Researcher earns nothing for his or her labors. Given the risk,
many Researchers may not want to attempt a multi-part project that is
all posted as one question.

Here is a piece of information that might be useful: Trebor Bassett is
now a subsidiary of Cadbury Schweppes.

Thanks for the comments.  I'm very open and have always paid when
someone has made an effort (from my historical questions) as well as
provided a tip.

I'm not sure how to cancel a question to split them into separate ones
once the orginal question is live.

I do appreciate your comments!
