1912 is the likely production date of of both the Brunners Bread and Butter Krust back cards (I was actually working on presenting some info about this shortly), and my guess is that the General Baking Company included the '102' on the backs of those cards to indicate that these cards were printed by a union printer (102, which I assume is a different printer's union branch), perhaps as a result of the investigation by Union 101 about this other matter.
