quite well known and collectible
They are Schapira Bros. Big Show Candy Cards, 1921-22. They are quite well known and several collectors collect them. There have been a few good threads about them on this board before. The set was made up of actors and baseball players and maybe other people too. The boxes they came in are fun to collect. The "wagon" boxes would be made into a circle and thus the "Big Show" moniker was born (well, that and the writing on the box!!), with the wagon train moving along. They are listed as 1921-22 Schapira Big Show Candy, in the Krause SCD. regards
