Issuing Company: Falcon Calvo y Cia. Ltda. Country of Issue: Argentina Year of Issue: 1937-1938 Color/B&W: B&W Number of Cards in Set: 50 per set Card Size: 1 3/8" x 2 5/8" Issued as insert with what product: Cigarettes |
Notes: Checklists incomplete. Falcon Calvo released five sets under the name Estrellas De Cine.
The Falcon Calvo sets are a little bit complicated. There were apparently five different sets issued as follows:
Date info: One of the Falcon Calvo sets displays the name of one or more movies for the pictured star. Based on the movies listed and their release dates, we can close in on the date this set was issued. For Jean Harlow, the film Wife vs. Secretary (1936) is listed. For Johnny Weissmuller, a 1938 Tarzan film is listed. Harlow died in 1937. I am placing a date of 1937 on this set, though it could have been issued a bit later. For the Serie C set, a 1938 movie is mentioned, so I am placing a date of 1938 for that set.
There were apparently 50 cards issued in each of these sets, numbered 1-51 with no movie star for number 9. Number 9 was apparently used for some type of contest, though I don't have the details about that.
Special thanks to Juan Jose Ruiz from Argentina for providing numerous scans to help sort out these checklists. Juan is selling a large collection of cigarette cards of many subjects from Argentina and will sell them in groups of various sizes to accomodate any buyers. If you are interested in buying any cigarette cards from Argentina, he can be contacted by email at juanchiomdnew@hotmail.com.
Thanks also to Richard Minns for helping with this checklist.
