I don't know the answer to your question but "Nadjas" were the caramels and Blanke Wenneker Candy Company, out of St. Louis made them...I don't own this box any longer...wish I did.

Couldn't they just as likely be from the D359 or T208 sets? Or could the blank backs be a completely different set from an unknown issuer? Or could the blank backs be a "mother" set, like the M101-4/5 blank back Felix Mendelsohn cards?

Any insights would be appreciated. All these questions were inspired by my very happy acquisition of my first ever Nadja, which I picked up through the B/S/T.
