Notes: Checklist incomplete. This set shows 8 cards of the cast of the Our Gang movies. The writeup on the back says that if you brought a complete set of 8 cards to a Hershey dealer, you would get a free pint of ice cream. This may indicate that there is a short-printed card in the set, as that is often the case with card sets containing offers such as this, to make it more difficult to collect the prize.
The photos from this set were taken from xerox copies, so the actual coloring of these cards will look a bit different from the scans, though these are black and white cards, so the coloring is probably pretty close. Thanks to Bob Richardson for providing the information to start this checklist.
