1910 Ring Travellers sweets vintage tin. Used to store and sell "travel sweets" by manufacturers like Cook & Co and Simpkins, which contained barley sugar drops known to alleviate travel sickness. The term "Ring Travellers" was used by Simpkins to describe their travel sweets, and the association with the ring spinning industry in cities like Manchester could have led to this naming.
