I'm working on a Jennings Duchess that has STAR BRAND in the top casting.
I think I read somewhere that was the name of the mints in the mint vendors. Is that correct?
Has anyone seen a roll of STAR BRAND mints? I'd love to get a high res file of their wrapper.

Thanks Ron for the suggestion.
I've got the blue Pioneer and green Jennings wrappers from Dave already. Still haven't found anyone that has Star Brand wrappers, if they even exist.

In all the years, I have seen many different Mint wrappers, and do not remember seeing any with "Star Brand" on them.
That Star design on the top casting, I'm sure, is referring to the machine model with the crest design above the coin-view
window, as the one with the two stripes, has a different top casting. The top casting with the Star, came in two versions.
One has "Star Brand" in the center, and the other has the "ODJ" logo. If you had a 1c model with Star Brand on top, it
would not have any connection to rolls of mints, as that model would vend gumballs.

In my 40+ yrs I have never seen any mints with a star brand logo. I use Jennings mint wrappers for my two machines.
