Container thread.. C.A.Briggs & Collins Hencke (McCarthy)
Posted By: Mark Macrae
Leon....Hencke was the actual candy maker for the company, joining Collins McCarthy prior to 1910. When McCarthy died, shortly after World War 1 ended, Hencke advanced to general partner. This partnership lasted until 1933. Your tin is from the 1920-1933 era, a true prohibition era survivor. I've found 5 different sizes of that tin (so far) and they all appear to have been used for packaging bulk candy orders, rather than for a specific product. There are also quite a few other Collins Candy packaging containers that have survived. Nice to see more people interested in this type of 'clutter'....

Container thread.. C.A.Briggs & Collins Hencke (McCarthy)
Posted By: J Levine
As I look at the Boston Wafer container it reminds me of another candy from the same town in Cambridge, MA...the NECCO company (New England Candy COmpany) still makes candy there and are now known mostly for the little conversation hearts put out during Valentine's Day but still make Necco Wafers. I wonder if this Boston Wafer was in competition with NECCO which I think has been around for a long time or whether it was a precurser? Just some thoughts.
