Notes: Cards are blank-backed. There were three Canadian sets issued with a number in star design in the early 1950s, all anonymous issues with blank backs. The thinner 30-card set was issued by Canadian Shredded Wheat in their breakfast cereal. This 48-card set and the subsequent 1952 48-card set were probably issued by Hamilton Chewing Gum. In his book "The Canadian Non-Sports Catalogue," author John Bell reports that a Hamilton wrapper has been seen for the 1952 set.
Date Info: All of the movies listed on the cards I've seen were made or released in 1950 or 1951, so I'm placing a 1951 date on this set. A new 48 card series was issued in 1952 (new names and films). Identical in every aspect except the issuer was kind enough to print "1952 SERIES" along the white border (left side) below the picture. Likely so collectors would not confuse the cards with the 1951 issue.
