A nice and used British Army standard issued Boiled Sweest tin

This is a neat example of a British Army standard issued Boiled Sweest tin. Boiled sweets have long been issued to soldiers as they provide a concentrated energy boost for the man in the field, being made of sugar which the body can quickly and easily convert into energy. The British army issued boiled sweets to troops in a variety of tins in a number of sizes, they all seem to conform to the same pattern though of a metal tin box, in various sizes, with light green lettering on a darker drab background. This example has been made by the J.P.Ltd Company. In the right bottom corner you will find a MB mark, this is the mark of the ‘Metal Box Company’, one of the largest manufacturers of pressed metal containers. The tin is in a perfect issued condition.
