Help Donn With A Project

I received the comment below from Donn from Green Valley, AZ, and wasn’t able to help him.  Can you?  Leave a comment below if you can.  Thanks!

I am working on a project that involves dating a photograph based on a Baby Ruth candy bar wrapper that is visible in the photo, and so far have not had much luck finding any info that would help me. I think the photo dates from around 1949 to 1953. The wrapper design in the photo seems to be unusual enough for me to believe it could be dated based on the design. I have checked on line for all the Baby Ruth ads that I could find but it seems they used a generic drawing for most of their ads, not real pictures. Since you are a collector of candy wrappers I was hoping that you might be able to suggest additional areas of research.

    Unfortunately, Donn did not include the picture. I’ll try to contact him and see if I can get it.
