Until now, the only information known about the E. Brok's Novelty Co. c&s is that it was delivered by USPC to it's New York office in 1925.
I've just received information that Ervin Brok emmigrated to NYC from Bohemia in 1904. About a decade later he moved to Reading, PA. Below is a 1923 advertisement of his store in Reading along with a picture of Ervin. It is interesting, if not meaningful, to note that in 1925 Brok visited Cuba and returned to the US via NYC (possibly to pick up his chips??)
Teaser: An ALCAZAR attribution may soon be made.
