Burdick evidently did believe then that Robertson Candy was a Canadian product as V150 and V153 have to be catalogued with the same nation, but it appears that as late as 1956 he did not know about the prize fighters at all. The MET inventory records cards up to V154 in album 336.

Would anybody be kind enough to check 1957 and later editions of the ACC if they have one?
I have been shown that the 1960 ACC lists V153; so Burdick didn't know about these until between 1957-1960 and then added them in.
