1932 or 1933 U.S. Caramel?

How about C.A. Briggs? Same contest and amount of caramel cards. Boston area too! Ruth is in this set. I believe they are a 1933 issue.

edited to add the ACC for this set is R348

Thanks Richard, 1933 C.A. Briggs is a nice match for that back design and style of marketing. Net54's non-sports section also turned up the 1930 Schutter-Johnson "I'm Going To Be" set made in Chicago or Brooklyn (instead of Boston) with a similar deal. I suspect the practice goes back further in trading cards, but good to see the growing number of 1930s matches in the Boston area. That might've been something every company did in those days.

Where did you see the number R348? I don't see it in my 1967 version of the ACC.

Thanks Richard. I looked through the Sterling Guide, Sugar's Sports Collectors Bibles and each version of the ACC and didn't find it

So those guys did a non sports book, much, much after the ACC and gave numbers to sets. Interesting and I am sure useful for the non sports crowd....

Yes very useful, especially when submitting cards to PSA. When I've sent cards not yet graded by them, I just quote the page number in the NSB and no problem. The author, Chris Watson, spent years collecting data with help from board members on the non-sport side and it was a labor of love at nearly 1000 pages
