I purchased a large collection of T206. They were stored in a Phillies cigar box. So despite the advertising on the back saying polor bear and sweet caporel. Did these in fact come from Phillies?
Finding an old gum box that fits 8x10 premiums really only means you found an old gum box that someone stored their Butterfingers in.
That exact same box has been found complete with the candy inside with no premiums. Because it is a gum box. A very attractive gum box. But just a gum box.
If you read Barkers letter he says he thinks they were issued with Baby Ruth Gum.. but he NEVER BOUGHT ANY because he didn't like gum. So just memories of being in a candy store 40 years before.
