1976 Carousel Discs anyone have a complete list of back stamps?

[bigfanNY]

Collecting in 1976 the Disc sets issued by MSA were all the rage. Trading across the country for sets.
I had a Zipz store near me and had access to promo materials and boxes of cards. So I would search ads in the SCD etc and trade for other sets issued across the country. Isleys Crane Holiday Inn etc. While most of the sets has printed backs Carousel snack bars had a backstamp dependent on location. I picked up a Madison WI set recently to go with Rochester MN set.
So I was wondering if a complete list of all the different backstamps exists.

Jonathan,

Back when I first got back into the hobby I used to try and comply a list of the different stamp backs. Of course that list is long gone but I do remember a thread discussing these Carousel stamped back versions. I try and just pick up Brooks examples but only have a few (probably the more common ones) and haven’t seen any examples recently.

I found one not on the list which is surprising as I only have 5 Carousel discs.
#917 Laguna Hills Mall
El Toro RD San Diego FRWY
Laguna Hills, CA 92653

I found another Carousel back not on the list.

#522 Ridgedale Mall
12311 Wayzata Blvd
Minnetonka, MN 55343

Probably not related to the Carousel discs, but I also have a Brooks Robinson with Circus Wagon Belden #2 stamped on the back. I have no idea where it comes from.

Thanks to everyone I will update list later.

Can you post a picture of the front of the Circus wagon disc please.
Although not a Carousel a close cousin ( like the tasty freeze backstamp) and as such will be added to list.

The front of the Brooks Robinson Circus Wagon disc is the same as the Carousel discs. Here's the front and back.

I don’t know if I have seen a Circus Wagon disc before but I have seen them mentioned a few times so they are legit.
