Notes: Checklist incomplete. Cards were issued with red, green, blue, or brown tones. The same card can be found in different colors. There were multiple cards for each number. Five different cards have been seen for card number 9, so it is possible that there are five cards for each number, making a set of 50 cards possible. Card number 6 appears to be short-printed, so it is possible there is only one number 6 card instead of five different.
These cards show puzzles on the front. You are supposed to solve the puzzle to figure out the name of a 1934 film star. The stars are not identified on the cards. There was a reward offered to any boy or girl that guessed the correct answer to a complete set of 10 cards numbered 1 to 10. I have not seen a number 6 card from this set, so it is probable that the number 6 card was short-printed to make it more difficult to claim a prize. There were 14 different prizes offered on the backs of the cards and on the wrapper. A winner could choose the prize they wanted from the list.
Date info: The wrapper from this set shows a date of 1934.
To make this checklist more fun, I am showing pictures of all the cards I have seen for this set. Most of these came from an interesting discussion of this set on the Vintage Non-Sports Cards Chat Board, instigated by Dan Calandriello. The solutions to the puzzles on these cards were figured out by various collectors who responded to this post. You are invited to try to figure out the names of the movie stars from this set. When you think you have all the answers, a link at the end of the checklist will show you the names of the stars. If you have any more of these cards, please email me scans (and solutions if you know them) so I can make this checklist as complete as possible.
