Thanks much, Al. Good to get feedback from you specifically, as I found your own 1938 Goudey site while poking around their company history and plan to reference it in a post about The Knot Hole League set. Also hoping the Goudey heirs are faring well and getting history from a family member must've been a great help to you!
(BTW, did you learn anything further about the tilted Pytlak cards? With only one 4x6 print sheet dedicated to each 24-card series, I assume Goudey misaligned his card on the sheet itself.) |

I have posted this before but it seems to fit with the subject. The cards in it are R311, glossy.

Leon, was that published by Goudey, or National Chicle? That's a great piece.
Matthew - nothing new about the tilt on the Pytlak. I have only seen one high number uncut sheet in my life, which I sadly lost in an auction a while back. I didn't notice anything peculiar about the Pytlak. That said, it's the only logical explanation for the inordinate amount of Pytlak cards with the exact same tilt. There are a lot of mysteries surrounding Goudey and Chicle between 1937 and 1939, and unfortunately no good resources for getting answers. Or maybe FORTUNATELY, as it makes those cards a lot more interesting to me. -Al |

Actually, this particular giveaway is stated on the Diamond Star wrappers. I guess I didn't remember or hadn't checked it. This isn't my wrapper but they aren't super rare.

Wow, cool promo! That's very interesting and adds some context to those overlapping months when Goudey made the acquisition. Thanks for sharing it.
I happen to live a couple miles from the old National Chicle factory and confirmed there's some hardcopy on the Cambridge, MA gum and candy industry that might help with the bigger picture. They've also run a Candy Land tour of that neighborhood with several documented sites. http://www.cambridgehistory.org/discover/candy/map.html Note that the tour includes George Close Candy! |

We are nerds. Passionate and well-informed, but still nerds. Having said that, great piece of research Matt!

Thanks Dave! Looking forward to bringing more clarity to the Goudey / National Chicle relationship, assuming such info exists.
