I have 2 sets of Franklin Manufacturing Corp. store price tags or as the box says price tickets. These are small. More for jewelry display maybe . But denominations go from .50 to $1000. The best I could find is that he started
a hot stamp machine company back during the depression after he had a jewelry shop. I can find no information on other products produced by him. Any information would be of great help

You're welcome. I don't have a Worthpoint account either, so I'm afraid I can't be of any help re. the prices.

Given 3-letter state code and lack of zip code, going to be pre-1963 but likely not by much as zip code added while box still full-ish. Are the notations written with fountain or ball point pen?

Yeah, the box itself is pre-1963. But someone added the Zip Code (02062) and it's hard to say, isn't it, if that was someone at the factory, or a salesman for the company, or someone who owned the set and added the street address and zip just for reference.
Another oddity is that, like OP, I couldn't find any refererence anywhere to the company ever making anything like this -- and, yet, here it is! And Argon found another one.
