Orienta Sahib Film Stars

Issuing Company: Orienta S. A., Lugano
Country of Issue: Switzerland
Year of Issue: early 1930s
Color/B&W:
Number of Cards in Set:
Card Size: B&W set: 2" x 2 15/16"
Issued as insert with what product: Cigarettes

Note: Checklist incomplete. The Orienta company that issued this set is different from the Orienta that issued some card sets in Germany. There are 3 series of these cards. One in color, a second series in black & white, where the pictures are the same as in the color set but with different numbers, and a third series in green and white, which came out a couple of years later. The color set and black and white set show stars almost exclusively from German-language films. The green-tinted set shows a mixture of Hollywood and German film stars. All three of these sets are very rare and seldom-seen.

Date info (from Nick Bolton): The color set and the black and white set can be dated to 1932 or 1933 based on the cards with two stars on them - numbers 106 and 107. Johannes Riemann and Charlotte Ander made a film together in 1932 ("Das Millionen-Testament"), as did Lien Deyers and Hans Brausewetter ("Hasenklein kann nichts dafur"). So either 1932, or possibly 1933.

The green-tinted set was probably issued in 1934. The films "Peer Gynt" (Nos. 77, 83, 85, 94) and "Frasquita" (Nos. 78, 90) both came out in 1934.

Thanks to Nick Bolton for help with this checklist.
