It doesn't address candy type, but perhaps the name was adapted from a contemporaneous comic strip:
W.L. Wells made the newspaper strip 'Old Opie Dilldock's Stories' in the Chicago Tribune between October 1908 and 1914. The strip was created by F. M. Howarth, who died shortly afterwards. On 24 February 1915, he created 'Old Nicodemus Nimble'. source:www.lambiek.net. This card, particularly the background, makes me happy: https://www.net54baseball.com/attach...1&d=1675021703 |

This is one of my all time favorite cards. Not because of the grading company or the counterfeit card they slabbed. Before a recent huge find this was a fairly rare card. A very long time card friend of mine bought it years ago. I tried buying/trading for it many many times over the years.
Then about a year ago because of age and the fact none of his family wanted anything to do with his collection he decided to sell it all. Even though we have made hundreds of trades/sales to each other over they many years. I finally got this one from him and will cherish it as long as I have a collection. |

My Dad collected a lot of late 80's early 90's unopened junk wax, thinking some day they might be worth something...of course they're not...so literally just last Thursday, I broke open a full box of 89' Fleer hoping to get this exact card. Unfortunately, all I got was the version with the black box wiping out the knob.
