Default Leon......re..Blue Tints

This is from two independent sources (one from New York and the other from North Carolina), who purchased these cards in 1948.

They were available in "5 & 10-cent" stores as 8-card strips with NO associated gum or candy product.

The fellow in North Carolina recalls that these strips were first available in 1948. And, several stores in his area (near the Smokey
Mountains) continued to offer the Blue Tints in 1949 and 1950.
