"DUTCH GIRL" Vintage Pocket Candy Tin by Diesch-Middelburg of Holland, where the company has been making butterscotch candies (called 'Babblers') since 1892. This small round candy tin features a young Dutch girl in stunning B&W photography (and photographed in the local dress, as the company always did). Fully intact paper stamp on back, Tin is in perfect condition. Made in Holland.
The Babbler: The exact recipe of JB Diesch's babbler is a closely guarded secret. In any case, what is in it is sugar, a large lump of butter, corn syrup, salt and water. In Koudekerke, where the bakery is located, it regularly smells of caramel and people like to come to the door to taste a still warm babbler.
