Hi-
I hope I am not derailing this thread, but there has not been one on this set in a while. I traded for the Dean "postcard" example scanned below. I am sure this was done at home, as the only information on the back is a stamped address and stamp. If it helps this postcard shows these were most likely available in the Minneapolis area in 1934.

Uncataloged Cards should be cataloged
Last post by me...
Only reason I started a checklist on the R313A type2 is so MAYBE this info can be added to the SCD Standard Catalog in the future. Beckett tried, but they combined both sets.... I dont have #6 issue of Old Cardboard with me, so I didnt have that info from 2006. Sorry to bump a post a few times over the popular Barkman and REA posts, but this stuff (along with correcting the screwed up checklist of R314 type4) interests me far more than that stuff. aloha Last edited by fkw; 05-06-2010 at 12:14 PM.

Frank,
I appreciate the effort. I am new to this set and was wanting to know if my set was complete or if there is more. You certainly helped. I still have questions, that I guess won't be asked or answered. Mike Last edited by cliftons8; 05-06-2010 at 04:46 PM. Reason: delete text

Gold Medal Flour
Interesting that the cards are being labeled Gold Medal Foods. On the Wheaties box it says the parent company's name is Gold Medal Flour. On one box it says, for recipes, write to Betty Crocker, Gold Medal Flour, Minneapolis, MN. Later became General Mills or General Foods. Either name works, not sure why the change is needed.

I had not noticed the used of Gold Medal Foods... At this moment I've only looked in the 5th edition of the Standard Catalog, and is has Foods. I always thought it was Gold Medal Flour.
The 5th edition Standard Catalog calls them 1934 Gold Medal Foods, (R313A), and lists 12 cards. So I'm wondering where I got thinking it was "Flour" in my head...

My Old Cardboard article
on the "Pen" sets (R313, R314, Gold Medal, etc.) gives some info about the nomenclature - Gold Medal Flour was one product in the Gold Medal Foods line, which was produced by General Mills. The cards were advertised primarily as Gold Medal Foods premiums (rather than specific to the flour).
You guys might have an interest in checking out my articles. I haven't talked to Lyman for a while, but according to the site, back issues are still available for individual purchase, or (if you never subscribed) you can order the whole run. They pack a tremendous wealth of information on vintage cards. These articles are in issues 6 and 7. https://oldcardboard.com/subscriptions.asp
