3 Candy Boxes from John Dockman & Son, Producers of 1909 E92 Baseball Cards.
Lot 435. 3 Candy Boxes from John Dockman & Son, Producers of 1909 E92 Baseball Cards. The E92 cards apparently were issued inside boxes of Dockman’s “Base Ball Gum” boxes. These boxes held “peanuts coated with candy” and “glazed with lac.” A toy accompanied the candy, and the toys are present. 1. Goody Balloon Package, wonderful graphics of a jester catching balloons. A tiny metal chicken toy is inside the box. 2-3. Jolly Rover Peanuts, with a graphic of a child dressed as a pirate. One box has a paper insert with a “Fortune Teller Miracle Fish,” and the other, items that are supposed to turn into flowers. Each box has strong graphics and is rigid. Each also still has candy inside, and the candy has stained the boxes. Stains on the Goody Balloon and one Jolly Rover packages are light to moderate, affecting primarily the lower right. The third box has moderate to heavy stains. The paper inserts are heavily stained. Two of the boxes display very well, and the metal chicken is an interesting adjunct.
Winning Bid $35.
