petecldI did a little checking into "Toy Town" couple years ago after I bought a card with a Toy Town stamp. I have an E92 Dockman and an E97 Briggs with the stamp.
So far only "E" cards are known to have them and since the candy/caramel companies were all from the upper east coast I always wondered if there is some sort of connection, and I can't say for sure, but I found out that during WW1 a town in Massachusetts called "Winchendon" was called "Toy Town" because so much of the industry there was involved in the making of toys for children over seas.
The stamped cards could be part of a game or I wondered if cards were used as some kind of promotion for the town or were included with toys that were sent to Europe.
Again, all pure speculation on my part.
Has anyone seen the stamp on a tobacco card?
