Posted By: <b>Ben</b><p>Look to me like W502's, but the different font type and card stock leads me to believe they may not be from the same set.

Posted By: <b>fkw</b><p>Those 2 cards are from different sets. You'll notice the caption is slightly different. Both sets are currently uncataloged, but share the same/similar checklist with some of the York Caramel sets, 1928 W502, Yeunglings,etc. . <br /><br />They are a blank back variation of one of the sets.<br /><br />They are similar to the set cataloged as 1931 W-Unc. in the SCD, but are not from that set. They are also similar to a W502 but with a blank back. They may have been issued with an unknown candy or ice cream. They are still a mystery. One day they will be listed something like "1927 W-Unc." or "1928 W-Unc."<br /><br />They have been the subject of a couple posts within the last year or so, and quite a few over last 5 years. Im sure others will add some info.<br /><br />Here are som old posts you can look through (1-5 years old)<br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1105891901/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1105891901/</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1029959212/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1029959212/</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1111959220/QUESTION+ABOUT+1928+W502%27S" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1111959220/QUESTION+ABOUT+1928+W502%27S</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1144096861/" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/message/1144096861/</a><br /><br />To add, I believe the white back card (Heilmann) would be best described as a 1928 blank back ice cream card, but obviously you cant be certain which company, but most likely Tharp's or Sweetman (Yeungling's and Harrington's have the name within a box and have lower qualitly photos, W502 has a different font).<br /><br />The brown back card (Judge) I would describe as a "1928 blank back" but dont know of a set that has the brown paper back. The front is like a 1928 W502, but back color is different.
