shoulderless
don't know them but very interesting and odd!!!
without the shoulders, i thought immediately that they reminded me of the knight in Monty Python -Search for the Holy Grail- who lost his arms,etc. in duel and still called the winner a coward for leaving. good luck with them best, barry

I'd also be interested in buying one of this cards. They resemble some of the early Canadian types from the 20's (Crescent Ice cream, Maple Crispette and Peggy Pop Corn). I wouldn't be surprised if this cards came from Canada.

I think Frank Ward gave them the "shoulderless" name because many of the players have their shoulders cropped off in the photos.
They do have some similarities to the Crescent cards. But most of these are so badly off center that I would bet that they were issued in strips and handcut. So maybe they are a very rare type of strip card from the US or Canada.

Blank
They are blank backed, and on thin stock. Anyone else out there have any of these in their collection?
