Help to identify this set ?

[fkw]

Here is a similar newspaper "card" from Detroit Times. I believe Pittsburgh has one too, but dont have the catalog handy.



PS does anyone have these with a blank back??? I have 2 like this.

The pittsburgh set is stated to be complete at 208 from 1936. My guess is this is similar but 1-2 years sooner. Any more help is appreciated, JEFF

A complete set of these newspaper scrapbook cut-outs were auctioned on eBay a few years back by one of the major dealers. He knew exactly what they were and had a nice write-up, I already had a couple in my type set, so I didn't placed a bid. A few weeks after the auction ended, the high bidder broke-up the lot and sold most of the cut-outs individually while making a nice profit in the process. It was a tough blow for me since I'm always looking for stuff to flip, but I'm now a better person for it (yeah right!). Of course, being a good boy scout, I wrote down the details of the identity of these newspaper cut-outs.

Alas, tragically I was only a boy scout for a few days, so after spending 2+ frustrating hours looking for that info I have reached a dead-end. I know for a fact that the cut-outs numbered higher then 200, but that is all I can add at the moment.

Lovely Day...

If you can ever come up with any more from that sale it would be greatly appreciated. Even if you could remeber the dealer that sold it as maybe I can contact them to get more info or maybe online they have an archive.
thanks, Jeff W

Just went through Columbia City Collectibles for another issue and stumbled upon the answer. They have some of these on their website.
Thanks for all who helped, Jeff W
