I will bite on this one as I do love the TT's.

My understanding is that a Texas Tommy was a candy or candy bar. Has there ever been a discovery of a wrapper as I would love to see one.

Love Texas Tommys, such a mysterious set. I'll work on making a post about them. In the meantime here's a tin from the Cardinet Candy Company of Oakland CA. maker of the Texas Tommy candy bar.

I've never collected them or researched the history; however, I have seen the cards.

I always thought Texas Tommys were hot dog cards.

(go ahead, laugh...I kinda deserve it on this one)
