Atlantic Films

Issuing Company: Galletas Patria Country of Issue: Spain Year of Issue: 1936 Color/B&W: B&W Number of Cards in Set: 60 Card Size: Issued as insert with what product: Biscuits and Tea

Notes: Checklist incomplete. Stamps with blank backs. The stars are not identified on the stamps - simply "Atlantic Films" and a number. The stamps were found in packages of biscuits and tea from the PATRIA brand (or TINY RITZ TEA).

There was a contest with very generous prizes; the deadline for entries was April 30, 1936 - two months before the Civil War. The first prize was 2,000 pesetas, whereas a worker's salary was between 300 and 500 pesetas per month. The album featured a very modern design for the time: film stills in which the actors' heads were replaced by a white square. Participants had to paste the film star stamps in the correct spots and identify the titles of 11 films; the official rules were filed with a notary.

Thanks to Serge Plumecocq for helping with this checklist.

None of the stars are identified on the stamps.
