Notes: Dating is estimated from several points: product name is in two lines above the center image of a coconut (this style was used in the late 1930s); the U.S. patent number from 1926 (1,612,087) would have expired in 1943; and the "Seven Minute Frosting Recipe" is at least from 1930. Baker's Phillipines coconut facility was destroyed in World War II and the product did not return until 1948. Status: OK Status By: dw Status Date: 2010-08-07
