M. Glott Akaba Film Stars

Issuing Company: M. Glott
Country of Issue: Norway
Year of Issue: 1933-1934
Color/B&W: B&W
Number of Cards in Set:
Card Size:
Issued as insert with what product: Cigarettes

Notes: Checklist incomplete. These cards were issued with Akaba brand cigarettes. There are numbered cards and unnumbered cards with Akaba advertising. Not enough cards have been studied to know if these are different sets. In the unnumbered card group, there are some cards that show the name of the star at the top of the card back, and others that show the name of the star in the first sentence of the biographical text instead. Not enough cards have been studied to know if those are separate sets.

A Stan Laurel card has also been seen that does not contain Akaba advertising, but was found with a group of Akaba cards and looks like it belongs with these cards.

Date info: For the unnumbered group with the name of the star in the first sentence of the text, the movies mentioned seem to go up to 1933 and stop, so that seems like the date of issue for those cards. For the unnumbered group with the large name of the star at the top of the back, one of the cards mentions a 1934 movie, so those seem to have been issued in that year.

Thanks to Jorg Wagner and Richard Kirby for help with this checklist.
