Default Need help ID of three different Prewar cards or premiums...

Posted By: fkw

The Traynor is a R313, The Lindstrom is a R316 Kashin.

Now the bad news...That particular Johnson Confectioners card is a reprint. Without even seeing the back I knew it was a reprint from the cut, caption, and photo qualitly of the front. The caption is from the E135 but is missing the number.

The authentic Johnsons Confectioners backs are different in style and boldness, and the printing is a different color and quality. The card you have is similar to the Kendig Chocolate and Oodles Candy fakes that are seen from time to time.

BTW authentic H.Johnson cards are actually stamped blank backed E121 style cards, not W575-1 cards. There is a difference in photo qualtity and back surface slickness between the W575-1 and the blank backed E121 cards. And the H.Johnson cards are machine cut, not hand cut like the W575-1 or W501 cards.
