1st.....Circa 1901-1904 in Oxford (PA), the Breisch-Williams Caramel Co. (of E107 fame) marketed their candy products in the Northeast (including New England).
Daniel Lafean [American Caramel (AC) Co. founder] acquired BWC (circa 1905) and incorporated it into his AC Co. So, this supposition of yours does not apply....
"At the same time, the sales guys at American Caramel decided to try to expand sales in Boston and New England."
2nd....AC's E91-C (1910) set depicts Boston AL players, including Karger, Speaker, and Stahl. Therefore, this is consistent with the E90-1 set including these 3
players in their 1910 series.
With the exception of Cy Young (Boston AL), it is very mystifying to me that AC did not portray Boston players in their early series.
