Notes: Checklist probably incomplete. Unnumbered. Multiple back designs seen. Two of the backs have text above "Dolcificio Lombardo," one in black ink and one in red. Another back is in black ink with no text above "Dolcificio Lombardo." All three of those backs show the L in Lombardo extending upwards to the top of the D in Dolcificio. It is possible that these were issued in more than one different sets, but they are all being checklisted together here for now.
There is another back with the L in Lombardo on its own line. For this back, the front text is noticeably different from the cards with the other backs. The front text for this back has no serif, or curls in the letters, they are all straight letters. The cards from this group appear to be a different set, as groups of cards from this group have been seen separate from the other cards, so these will be checklisted separately below.
An interesting observation on these cards is that there was apparently some censorship going on with updated versions of some of these cards. There are many cards of actresses showing bare shoulders especially which are covered up by fake clothing or are zoomed in to cut out the bare shoulders in later updated cards.
There is an error card variation of Ruth Roman that has her name printed out as Ruth Norman. There is an identical pose of Roman with the correct spelling of her name.
This is one of those difficult sets to checklist because there are no numbers and multiple poses of many of the stars. Because of this, I am including a picture checklist with this set. Click on the small picture above to view the picture checklist.
Date info: The first listing for Dorothy Tutin in the Imdb is for 1952, dating this set to sometime after that. The stars in this set are mostly from the early 1950s, so probably not much later than that, maybe sometime between 1952 and 1954.
Thanks to Amit Benyovits for help with this checklist.
