I have several very old (c. 1920’s) candy boxes, including Clark’s Zig Zag, Pendergasts’s Grape O.K., Schutter’s Old Nick, etc. Do you know anyone who might be interested in these?

Freddy,

Thank you for visiting candyblog.org. I know of the product that you are referring to and sadly, it has been long discontinued.

Unfortunately, in the candy industry, they do not pay heed to the wise words, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…”

Warm Regards,
Jon

Very well written… O but the candies of the past, eh?! And yes, those candy cigs… that takes me down memory-lane for sure!

If you please,
I am looking for a childhood fav. of my own… the original 1960’s early ’70’s candy pastel lozenge by “Nutty Club.” They were a flat wafer-like lozenge very-much-like the Fisherman’s Friend, but larger and more rectangle in shape. They had a taste “all-their-own!” I have been trying to locate them for sometime now. I had heard that the original lozenge contained ether as an ingredient, and the candy was pulled from the shelves(??) Don’t know if this is true or false though. “But” I did run across the lozenge at the PNE in Vancouver about 7 years ago in an old fashioned Candy booth at the market, and haven’t seen them since. Can you please e-mail me if you know where I can find these ol’ fashioned sweets today. My Nano (Grandma) always had them on hand, and I would love to find them again to satisfy my sweet-tooth! I am in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Please contact me via e-mail: freddybkual@hotmail.com if and when you have time please. Please place, “Old Fashioned Lozenge” in the subject line of the e mail, Thank you so much.
Sincerely,
Freddy Bolen.~
