Four Chums on Strange Inheritance

It’s fun to be reminded of all the attics out there that might still contain some R.A. Fox treasures. Episode 1 of season 1 (aired 1/26/15) of the show “Strange Inheritance” is a story about the discovery of 800 uncirculated 1909 caramel candy baseball cards in Defiance, Ohio known as the “Black Swamp” find. In 2012 cousins were cleaning out the attic of their great grandfather’s house (after their aunt/grandmother had passed) when they made the discovery. The attic was described as “filled to the rafters” and they included photos of an old baby carriage and of this 1913 calendar featuring Fox’s Four Chums.
