1938 Dixie Lids

[jefferyepayne]

This is a very interesting thread. I've been working on a run of these backs for the Bronko Nagurski and Sammy Baugh lids for quite some time now and have close to 20.

The only one I have that has not yet been mentioned is this one that unfortunately has paperloss and I can't tell what the name of the dairy actually is.



Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks Glen and Jeff - appreciate the additions. Jeff, I am not familiar with that one but if I see anything on it, I will try to remember to let you know.

Hey Glen -

Meant to ask, are these backs for the 1937 and 1938 sets or are they for other years? The tally I am keeping on that page is for only those sets as those are the pre-war ones with baseball/football players. There are later sports ones and later ones featuring movie stars but I wasn't cataloging those.

I could perhaps add a running list of the other ones as well. But I wanted to keep those separate if possible.

This brand is Looney's. Looks like there is at least a vanilla and strawberry back!

I've been working on a list of 1938 Bob Feller
Dixie Lids as well. I am aware of a few more backs and will try to post shortly.

Those were all 1938 baseball players.

Thank you, Glen - much appreciated. I will add all to the list.

Will you seperate the 37 and 38 backs? And which backs have large and small know examples? I collected them for a little while before internet 1976 - 1978 and I built a few sets.The large ones were always more difficult to come accross and 37's seemed to come up less often tha 38's. Good luck I will see if I have my old notes on backs I came across during my search.

Hi Jonathan -

Ideally, I would. In hindsight, I should have probably done that from the start. But I didn't save images of all the ones I found when I did my initial count and doing that much work again gives me a headache just thinking about it. It would be great to have that information but would require a lot of work to go back and try to hunt down all of the images again.
