Small nuggets- Kroger Bread Stew Bolen card - 1930s
 

Small things we find out about keeps the hobby interesting. Until now I had only seen one of these pseudo-cards which Frank Ward (hi Frank) has/had. I think he still has it but not sure. While it has been labeled 1940s I think it's going to be closer to circa 1930, with this new player/card (Bolen) found. Would be interested in hearing of any others known about. (and the return appearance of the quarter)

Interesting card. And "silver" quarter too!:D Dave.

Were these tied to the end of the bag?

Looks that way to me...might be one reason so few survived too.

Right...untie the bread, eat a few, toss the string.

I did a quick google search and the only photo that came up was this one that was on Franks website at one time.

I thought Leon might be the winner of that card. I looked up the records of both players and decided it is likely that it is a minor league issue. Possibly limited to the Indianapolis Indians where both players were for a large portion of their careers.

If you look closely, you can see an "I" on their hats, so good call. Maybe these were distributed in Indianapolis Krogers only.
