George H. Ruth Candy Company Cards Questions

[jingram058]

In light of the recently-discussed fake George H. Ruth Candy Company cards thread, and a separate thread about the candy bar wrappers, several questions are worth bringing up:

Has anyone seen, know of, etc., one of the redeemed, signed baseballs?

Card reverses say, "a baseball with Babe Ruth's actual signature on it." Stamped, or a ball actually autographed in pen by him?

Who was the candy company that Ruth affixed his name to? A start-up, or a pre-existing company? Was Ruth being managed by Christy Walsh in 1928? From what little I have been able to find, the candy bars were chocolate covered peanuts and caramel/nougat much like the Baby Ruth bars of today. Which, by the way, everyone says were in no way named after Babe Ruth.

Were the candy bar wrappers that turned up in the 1980s real, or just more fakes?

He's not in a Yankees uniform in any of the photos. Why is Ruth wearing LA and what appears to be Giants (with the Giants-looking "New York" lettering) uniforms? Licensing?

For reference, here are all 6 of the real cards, and 3 different backs...Cleveland, San Francisco, and blank (no, these are not mine, just representative examples I found on-line).

The picture on the cards come from the movie Babe Comes Home.https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0017652/?ref_=ttmi_tt
