Standard Biscuit backs

[Archive]

Posted By: Bob Lemke

I'm working on a follow-up to my recent SCD columns about Felix Mendelsohn's M101-4/5, etc. Either from this forum or somewhere else, I've been given to believe there are two distinct backs found on Standard Biscuit D350-1 (M101-style). Can the good folks here provide a scan of each type that we can use in SCD. It can either be posted here, or emailed to me (200 dpi, please) at Robert.Lemke@fwp.com. Thanks much!

As an addicted "back" collector I am only aware of 1 type of M101 type of Standard Biscuit back....unless you count the very scarce one's that are printed upside down in this series......Anyone else? Of course the E135 type Standard Biscuits have a different back, in that it's larger, but I don't think that's what you are talking about...regards

Bob,
That's the only back I've seen as well, but here's the proof that Wallace is shown with the Browns.

Looks like the identical back is used for all Standard Buscuits...both the M101-4/5 and the E135 versions...Series of 80 vs 200 for the D350.

I guess I was thinking about the 1917 and 1921 Standard Biscuits in terms of back variations. I spent a lot of time this weekend noodling over M101-4/5 and its variations and mystery cards. I've nearly completed a column for SCD on my findings. Your help is, as always, appreciated.

the 1921 Standard Biscuit back uses the same format, but states that there are 80 cards in the set.

Bob--On the M101s there is an inverted back that shows up sometimes but I am unaware of any other variation.

An old Macrae catalog listed two versions of the Standard Baking (D-350) back, one with "BAR ON BACK" and the other "NO BAR ON BACK".

here's a 1921 SB back. In addition to substituting 80 for 200 in the text, the box pattern is slightly different:



Edited to add that I see Brett already added the 1921 SB--oops.

Hi, There are 2 different backs found for the 1921 D350-3 cards, the first and more common is the "80 to the set" back, the second and scarcer says "80 photographs" Id put a scan up but I sold the only "80 photographs" card I had. Sorry




PS This is the first time Ive checked in with this site in over 6 months, I'll be getting back into collecting etc soon. Frank
