Gerrit J. Verburg Co. Collectible Chewing Gum Tins. These collectible tins filled with recently reintroduced Black Jack, Clove, and Beemans Chewing Gum brands, depict nostalgic Americana scenes. Introduced in 1884 as Adams’ Black Jack, Black Jack Chewing Gum was the first flavored gum in America and the first gum sold in sticks. Beemans Chewing Gum originally was marketed as a digestive aid to the early flyers in the late 1800s because it was rumored to settle stomach acid in-flight. Clove Chewing Gum, with its spicy floral flavor, gained popularity during Prohibition for its ability to mask the smell of alcohol on the breath. gerritjverburg.com
