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.

Ok, so who is this Babs mentioned in Bob Elson's letter. It says you could get her picture. Does anybody have one?
