Any chance this question came up after you found a '48 Signal Oil? I don't know of any color photo issues that are older, anyone else?

I got ahold of a 1948 Signal Gas card, and thought it was a really nice looking issue. I also had to wonder if this was the first color issue produced (major or minor leagues). I can't think of any earlier issues that used color photography...was wondering if anyone else knew differently?
