Still unpacking mother's.....

Meggezones (still available it seems) are menthol pastilles (they also used to contain peppermint, licquorice, chloroform and benzoin), whose strange name comes from the firm's founder, a Mr Meggeson. He started the company in 1796, and by the early nineteenth century it was making a range of syrups, sweets and lozenges for coughs and colds at its Bermondsey factory.

The silver thrupennies have a history too....but I only remember the nicely shaped brass ones in the 1950's.
