Leon....The Calarab box is most likely from the 1920's. Bishop marketed hundreds of products including jams, jellies, crackers and candy. The five cents chocolate boxes sized just larger than a Cracker Jack box are the most likely recipient of the insert card. The box that I have perfectly fit an E-221 when the card is folded (as most E-221's are). I have a slightly different Calarab box, along with a wooden box, although I do not believe that either ever held the cards
