Baseball Candy Issues and their Containers/Boxes
Posted By: Bruce Babcock
This is not directly related to your Forum question but I wonder if anyone has ever seen this box before. It obviously held "candy" cigarettes and was meant to look like a Piedmont box, although not made by Piedmont. It makes you wonder why, if they were selling candy cigarettes and putting them in Piedmont style boxes, they didn't include baseball cards, as Piedmont did with tobacco. It seems like a missed opportunity to market to both fathers and sons. I'm not sure why a candy product would need an IRS stamp. Maybe the "tray" part of the box was from a Piedmont tobacco box. The pencil writing on the back of the box says "Gramps 1911," according to the guy I bought it from 20+ years ago. There was a company called Gardiner-Lucas operating in Brooklyn in the 1910 era. Anybody have any insight on this?
