Default E107 Breisch-Willams and The American Caramel Co.

So sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was trying to find out who the Breisch and Williams were from the Breisch-Williams candy company that created the E107 set and found this old thread with some good info in it.

Scott names George Briesch as the name for that part of the company and his father as Frederick Breisch. And he mentions several possible names for the Williams part.

It appears that George's father has signed the attached American Caramel Co. stock certificate which I find very cool.

My question is, could the Williams have been George Williams, as he was apparently the Secretary of American Caramel Co. of Philadelphia at some point based on the stock certificate that I have (attached below). If George Williams was the actual Williams of the Breisch-Williams company, then my stock certificate is signed by both the father of the Breisch part of the company and the Williams of the same.

When I noticed the last names of the two signatures I immediately thought maybe, just maybe, I had the signatures of these two men because it would be a strange coincidence that both signatures just happened to be those two last names on an American Caramel Co. stock certificate.

Does anyone know for sure if the Williams part of the name could have been George Williams?

Thanks,

Andy
