Would like to set up an historical display in the buildings lobby (building has been converted into condos) Looking for any info about the “American Candy Co,” “Howard B. Stark (candy) Co.” & “Stark Candy Co.” (pre 1960).
Candy ads – wrappers – history etc.
Some of the candies that their known for are “Rex” brand of fine chocolates, “Snirkle”, “Candy Raisins”, “Stark Wafers”, “Sweethearts candy”,little conversation valentine “Candy Cigarettes” or any other candies that you know they made.
Any information or leads you may have is greatly appreciated.

Haven’t a clue as to what happened to them, though. Sorry.

Regal Crown was the most popular candy that today is almost a complete mystery. In the 1950′s through 1980′s Regal Crown sour candy rolls were super popular (reaching the number 6 most popular candies in the US market. We know that it was imported, we also know it was imported by Tootsie Roll industries for s while in the 50, and 60′s and thereafter handled by Callard & Bower. It is believed that it was manufactured by Trebor in the UK but very little is known about where and who actually manufactured the product.
Anyone with information please help.

Sweets have become such a big part of our town that some education and history will only make it sweeter. I recently came across your NYT article and just started reading your blog. I love candy but now I love it even more for the depth and perspective you’ve given to sweet confections. Thank you!

But anyway I just thought i would comment with the very important information that if you eat a cadburys trifle with all the layers you really only getting the taste of the second layer and the last 2 layers mould into one. But if you eat it layer byb layer it is much more satisfactory and lasts longer :D
