The American Caramel Co. was formed in 1889 when the Breisch-Hine Co. of Philadelphia and the P. C. Wiest Co. of York, Pennsylvania, merged according to Wikipedia. So I wonder if the Frederick G W Breisch on the certificate is the same as the Breisch from Breisch-Hines Co. Anyway, it's a very cool piece that goes great with my E90's.

Now as I said, this was a Christmas gift. It came from Phil (Casey2296) from here on the board. Phil, I am thrilled with this one! I owe you buddy.

Is the Breisch-Hine Co. the same Breisch as the Breisch Williams E107 set?

[sb1]

Hi Ricky,

I couldn't find the connection between the two. But Scott says it is. There is another signature (of the Secretary) on the certificate of a Mr. Williams and I thought it would be really cool if it were the Breisch and Williams of the E107 fame.

Great postcard Pete. That was in my collection at one time. So cool that it is postmarked from the 3rd game of the World Series - a 2-1 Red Sox win!

Here is another part of the deal that Phil referenced above. So cool to be able to do an old fashioned trade for something that you really want. I knew that Wiltse existed in the Rose Co. postcard set, but adding one to my collection had always eluded me. When I saw that Phil had picked one up, I contacted him and he went out of his way to make a deal with me. Really happy to have been able to add this one to my collection.

Somebody colored in the corners along the way, but it is still a very nice looking card.
