Stewart Ogilvie of Rehobeth, Ala., tells us of the previous mystery photo: “This is the oldest candy company in the United States, Ye Olde Pepper Candy Companie, in Salem, Mass., which has been in business since 1806. The company was founded by Mary Spencer, an English confectioner shipwrecked in Salem, who began selling the first commercially made candy in America, known as Salem Gibraltars. The company continues to make and sell the original hand-made Salem Gibraltars, as well as the molasses stick candy known as Blackjack.” The photo came from Rebecca Baumann of Lilburn.
Also identifying the photo were Jay Altman, Columbia, S.C.; George Graf, Palmyra, Va.; and Allan Peel, San Antonio, Texas.
