Not really an insert, but didn't w517s have some random cards with stripes that could be exchanged for some prize?
I've seen them with the stripes but am not sure what the prizes were or anything.

The gum was the "product" that you were buying.
The cards were the inserts. For idiots like us who put sets together, it was an ingenious way to sell more gum, even if you didn't like to blow bubbles. Can you think of a better way to sell 407 pieces of gum instead of just a few? (1952 Topps) 1 cent packs -- Bingo

Probably the first insert and unfortunately no longer mine. Coincidentally it was also my biggest win on ebay, from another member's dad, (RIP).....
It might also be the most expensive item sold on our BST in a live auction, before there were live auctions  ....

How about the 1957 Topps Lucky Penny, not exactly common but I would still consider it an insert.

Interesting comments from all.
I think the contest cards that were included in packs could be considered an insert. But, I'm sort of with Toppcat on this one. Seems the 1960 Fleer packs were the first ones where actual decals/logos/stickers were included in all the packs. There was nothing to mail in or whatever to claim a prize like some of the others packs. Good information from everyone.
