URUGUAYA MOVIE STARS

Issuing Company: Saint Bros.
Country of Issue: Uruguay
Year of Issue: 1930s
Color/B&W: B&W
Number of Cards in Set: 300
Card Size: 3 3/16" x 4 1/2"
Issued as insert with what product: Coffee and Chocolates

Notes: There are some variations in the front color, front text, and back color for the cards in this set, but it appears that despite these variations, these cards all belong to the same set.

The card fronts have been seen with both a light and dark brown tone, a green tone, and lightly colorized.

It looks like there are at least five different front text and number patterns, with the size of the number and text being the main difference.

Backs have been seen in brown, gray, or blue. The blue backs are printed in reverse, with even the small text printed in reverse.

It might be that different number sequences have some of the different characteristics, but I have observed enough oddities within the different number groups to suspect there were several printings of this set, leading to some of the different characteristics, with some cards being seen with multiple variations.

Collector Amit Benyovits located an album for this set that identifies the issuer on the cover as follows:
