Default unknown 49ers "cards" wax texture
As Jeff says, these were issued by Christopher Dairy Farms in 1955. There were two player cards pictured on each milk carton side panel measuring approximately 2 1/2" x 3".

The cards were part of a Junior 49ers Booster club promotion. The following text was on each carton: Boys and Girls - Be a 49'ers booster. Join Christopher milk Jr. 49'er club at your grocer and follow your favorite 49'er player on Christopher Picture-Pak carton.

I think there are 33 different (known) cards in the set. Because they were issued in pairs, that list maybe incomplete.

Mike
