Zabel Brothers....lithographers in Philadelphia

Here are the very first Gum cards produced by Zabel Brothers. Note the "5-Star Bowman Series" logo that was com-
mon to these 3 sets.

My source of this information is George Moll from a lengthy interview I had with him in 1981. Mr Moll's art department
was responsible for all the GUM, Inc (Play Balls) cards and the Bowman's from 1939 to 1955.
