Notes: Checklist Incomplete. These cards can be identified by the Series C on the back. They contain the following characteristics - they are in black and white with a pastel pinkish-grey background and pinkish-white border. Identifying text is written in diagonal script. On the back, these cards contain a fortune on one side, the name of the issuer on the other, and a space for a weight printout in the middle. There is a copyright line on the back that starts with Pat. No. 1546553. Cards from this set are numbered.

Exact year of issue not known. I have only studied eight of these cards so far, and the dates ranged from 1932 to 1934 in the weight printout, so these cards must have been issued in 1932 or earlier.
