I have 37 different players pictured on my web site including Gee Gee Walker. Below is the write-up that I have. If you are interested, here is a link to just the Sawyer Biscuits.
http://www.oldvintagebaseballcards.c...awyer+biscuits They are more like small pictures in desk top frames. The frames are 5 13/16" tall and 4 13/16" wide, with some variance. The opening is 2 7/8" by 3 7/8". The picture alone is about 4 7/8" tall and 4 1/2" wide and blanked backed. There is also a sheet of clear plastic that protects the card inside the frame. I do not see any markings as to the studio or distributor. I had 22/24 cards from the 1938 Sawyer Biscuits "Cubs" set. I also had 15/22 White Sox. In the late 1930s, a local baker ran a promotion by which fans could redeem a coupon found in its product along with a dime for a matted black-and-white portrait photo of a favorite Chicago ballplayer. The set is known because sometimes the shipping envelope and insert letter are found with them. The pictures are on light paper about as thick as typing paper. There is not really a gloss to them, but in the printing, the surface is a little shiny. The picture is like a photo on the paper, there is not print dots. Ten frames stacked up is 1 1/4". All of the pictures look like the uniforms and caps have not been game worn yet. What is curious to me is that all of the uniforms are 1937 uniforms except the players who were not with them until 1938 and they have 1938 uniforms on, based on the shoulder stripe for the Cubs and zipper front for the White Sox. This issue is listed as 1938, but I guess that they could have been for two years starting in 1937. |
