    3. Dear List, I know that this has nothing to do with Yorkshire let alone genealogy. But when I was researching my family in Yorkshire you list members were so helpful to me that I thought I would pose a question to you even thought it is a non-related subject. I am living in the United States, Florida, and am a glass candy container collector. We collect containers that were made in the early 1900s that were in shapes of animals, comic strip characters, santas, trains, planes, cars, etc. and they were filled with small hard pellet candies, with a closure of cardboard pushed in or a screw on lid. They range from about 3" to 6" in size. Well we have gotten a few in our collection over the years that are supposed to be English in manufacture. I have a train, a car, a dog, a benguin, a soldier and a kewpie doll and specifically a cat with a label that reads: S.P. Confectionery, high grade candies and a big S.P. in the center of this red and black label. Would any of you know of any such confectioner in England or be able to tell me how to find out about this company? I would certainly appreciate any help you could lend to me.
