Issuing Company: Unknown Country of Issue: USA Year of Issue: 1928 Color/B&W: multiple two-tone color combinations Number of Cards in Set: 64 Card Size: 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" Issued as insert with what product: Issued in strips of 8 |
Notes: Blank-backed. These cards show a movie star and an animal. I have seen an uncut strip of these and there are 8 cards in one long strip, with the cards located from top to bottom in the strip. It is likely that most of these cards can be found in different color combinations. This set was also issued separately in blocks of four as Exhibit cards.
Date info: Lon Chaney is shown in his vampire makeup from the 1927 movie "London After Midnight," so these cards must have been issued in 1927 or later. I am placing a 1928 date on them, though this could be off by a year or two.
The checklist below will be presented in two ways. First will be a list of all stars seen. Then will be a list of possible combinations of 8 cards seen on a particular strip.
Thanks to David York, Doug Larson, Roxanne Toser, and Marlin Toser for help with this checklist.
