E121 merry-go-round
Great discovery Rhett...one would almost think that, since it was issued first, the E121 series of 80 set was somewhat of a testing ground for American Caramel. Now it seems like they were not only trying different fonts on the back, but also on the front, seeing which ones worked best/pleased them. It makes you wonder that perhaps the ones with this different font and blank back (like the Kelly and Schang pictured) were actually E121 test productions without the back printing. In any event very scarce, and another reason why this group of related issues are so fun and interesting.
