Colonel Gumm was a villain in the Batman TV show, who worked for the Pink Chip Stamp Company. It was a play the name of the Blue Chip Stamp company that existed in those days. People would buy products at stores and gasoline stations and receive a number of trading stamps. Those stamps were then glued into books and could be traded in for small appliances, clothing, toys and other items at special stores. It was quite the rage in the 1960s.

Colonel Gumm works his criminal plots by counterfeiting rare postage stamps and then selling them to millionaires in the TV show. Later in the Batman 66 comic book series Colonel Gumm promotes himself to General Gum and teams up with the Joker for further criminal activities.
