Overland issued through at least 1943...
Just found a Frank Pytlak (Boston Red Sox catcher) wrapper (w/ ingredients) on the 'Bay. Pytlak didn't begin playing for the Sox until the 1941 season!! This now means this set was issued across even more years than originally thought!!
Interestingly enough, the Greenberg wrapper (w/ ingredients) which mentions stats from '35, has an extra bit of text that states: "NOW IN THE ARMY", which happened in 1942 from what I can tell, although technically he was in the Air Force.
I also found a Harlond Clift wrapper which says: "Clift is 30 years old". Umm, that was in 1942!!!!
With all these anomolies, I'd be surprised if this hasn't come up before.
