Issuing Company: Confiserie Exnaco Country of Issue: France (Hussen-Dey) Year of Issue: late 1940s or early 1950s Color/B&W: B&W Number of Cards in Set: 100 Card Size: 15/16" x 1 1/4" Issued as insert with what product: Candy and Chewing Gum |
Notes: An album was issued with this set. In an oddity, the cards in the album were not designed to be put in numerical order in the album. The album can be white, pink, or blue.
There was a contest associated with this set. If someone turned in an album page with containing all 25 cards on that page, they would win a prize. If they turned in 2, 3, or 4 pages, the prizes would get bigger. Not surprisingly, Serge Plumecocq owns an album with all the cards filled in except for one on each page. They evidently short-printed one card on each page. The short-prints appear to be: 1. C. Daupin; 46. Gregory Peck; 66. Stan Laurel; 93. D. Fairbanks Jr.
The prizes in the contest:
French collector Serge Plumecocq reports that Exnaco was located in Hussen-Dey, a suburb of Algiers when Algeria was considered a beautiful French province. In 1956, a large fire broke out at the Exnaco factory and burned the building to the ground.
