Tonibell Manufacturing Co.
Ltd.
In 1969, the Lyons Maid ice-cream
business of J. Lyons & Co. bought Tonibell for £1,750,000. The deal
was between Glacier Foods Ltd, the company which controlled Lyons Maid
and its associated ice-cream activities, and British American Tobacco
Co. Ltd, which had bought Tonibell Manufacturing Co. Ltd in 1964. The
name Tonibell is still used today.
The company produced an interesting range
of cards over a three year period. It's a pity that they didn't
continue. |

Team of All Time 1971.
A set of small, attractive, circular cards produced in association with
World Soccer magazine. I'm not sure, but I suspect that these were given
away a few at a time attached in a card (so that you had to remove the
disks from the card). Set
