I'm bringing this thread back because I'm doing some research and have a few questions.

It's my understanding that the Bowman v. Topps lawsuit (March '52) was partly based on Topps' decision to sell their 1951 baseball products with candy, and Bowman feeling they had a right to this pairing. However nowhere does any of the 1951 Topps packaging here reference caramels or gum. What am I missing? Were they just sold side-by-side?

I realize the case had other implications too, but I'm just trying to understand this part of it.

Thanks in advance for any insight.
