Oh Henry: 1928
Fredericksburg, Virginia, circa 1928. "John Paul Jones House, Main Street." 8x10 inch acetate negative by Frances Benjamin Johnston. View full size.
The price of a sweet
$1.00 in 1928 had the same buying power as $14.25 in 2018. So the 10 cent 1928 Oh Henry candy bar would cost $1.42 today. That was fairly expensive 90 years ago.

The candy seems expensive for the time. I remember buying candy bars for 10 cents in the 1970's.
