E300 is one of those beautiful one-off sets like T204 Ramly or Plow Boy Cabinets where a producer whimsically decided “let’s get into this baseball card giveaway thing”, then proceeded to put out a set that remains iconic 100+ years later. Plows Candy was a St. Louis operation that, fortunately for the collecting world, was extremely well documented for a Heritage Auctions sale by Gary Simpson. Without his efforts, not much would be known about this the producer or the set.
