Nope. These folks sold something that I don't usually associate with Lincoln.

You are absolutely correct. How did you know? Maillard Chocolates was the business, and Lincoln liked them so much that he ordered them for events at the White House.

I truly guessed. But (and I'm going out on a limb because I havent checked) ... maybe I recalled ... was there a toffee wrapper in Lincoln's pocket when he was killed ? (Edit: No, I've now checked ... no wrapper in his pocket) or maybe I'm thinking of his law office ... or the shop at New Salem ... or I dunno.
