This is a vintage toffee tin from England, by Edward Sharp & Sons, Ltd. of Maidstone, Kent to be precise. There is no date, but I'm guessing it is from the original release or thereabouts due to the presence of the infamous red-striped stockings.
This particular tin was filled with Plain Super-Kreem Toffee according to the label, which the previous owner graciously removed yet kept in side the tin
along with the Sharp & Sons guarantee.
Edward Sharp & Sons made lots and lots of specialty toffee tins, including this Alice and for sure a Snow White as well. Edward Sharp himself was the first Baronet of Warden Court, a relatively recent Baronetage created in 1922.Sharps toffee can still be purchased today, although I believe the brand has been purchased by Taveners .

Tim Burton would love those stockings! Does his Alice have those, or the white ones?
From the trailers I've seen, they are plain white. But I agree, they should have been striped.
