1938 Dixie Lids

[JLange]

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.

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!

Those were all 1938 baseball players.

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.

Great info everyone. Definitely a group of cards that, even after years of PreWW2 collecting, I barely knew existed, and to think that are so many different brands out there and that info on this set is still incomplete and new examples popping up still...how fun!
