Issuing Company: Nicholas Sarony & Co. Country of Issue: England Year of Issue: 1930 Color/B&W: B&W Number of Cards in Set: 1st Series-38, 2nd-42, 3rd-50, 4th-42, 5th-25 Card Size: Issued as insert with what product: Cigarettes |
Notes: Postcard sized cards. There were five series of Postcards issued by Sarony. The cards are photographic without being glossy and have white borders except series one which has no borders and cards therefore are smaller. The stars name appears on the front in italic signature style writing, not always at the same place.
The cards are numbered in white in the bottom left corner of the front and on the back (series 2-5 only) Text on the back is contained within a fancy designed box which reads 'No - of a - series of 25 CINEMA STARS issued with Sarony cigarettes', the number and series being different on each card.
All cards have postcard backs with space for a stamp and address.
The first series is of 38 cards, the second of 42, the third of 50, the fourth of 42 and the fifth of 25 cards. Series two continues the numbering sequence from series one so cards start in series 2 at number 39 up to 80. Every other series has its own numbering sequence.
Richard Minns reports that he has seen cards from Series 1 (by far the rarest) with and without the Sarony text box on the back suggesting it was stamped by hand or not every card was stamped properly. Quite a complicated series but it contains some lovely images of Clara Bow, Rudolph Valentino etc.
Thanks to Richard Minns for providing all of the information for this set.
