Late 19th c/ early 20th - Cowan's Base Ball Milk Chocolate Box
Picked a vntage wooden box up today at a local antique show. It is from my hometown (Toronto) and is sized like a typical cigar box. It has "Cowan's Base Ball Milk Chocolate One Cent Cakes" and "Made in Canada" on the lid. Has "The Cowan Comany Limited Toronto" on the side (front edge).
Googled a brief history of the company - founded in 1889 and was purchased by Rowntree of England in 1926. There seems to be a few 1920's era collectors cards issued by the company (birds, military) around, but the only mention to a baseball issue is in a Worthpoint auction listing from a few years ago. Anyone know if baseball cards were in fact distributed by Cowan's? Thanks for the help!     (the stand up is a 2 way soda piece from the 1950's I believe, with a football scene. ) Chris
