Comment
Popsicle tokens were issued as premiums in Popsicle packages starting in 1933.Later, in 1937, six were issued and we know for certain these were engraved by German-American engraver Franz Eue. These bore portraits of Claudette Colbert, Gary Cooper, Jean Harlow, Frederick March, Norma Shearer and Johnny Weissmueller. He misspelled Popsicle on the reverse of the Claudette Colbert medal as POPCICLE. Three of these are listed in the Red Book by Katie Jaeger and Dave Bowers, A Guide Book of U.S. Tokens and Medals, page 149.
