Issuing Company: American Caramel Co. Country of Issue: USA Year of Issue: 1924 Color/B&W: B&W Number of Cards in Set: 120 Card Size: Issued as insert with what product: Caramel Candy |
Notes: Checklist incomplete. This set is basically a reprint of the E124 set with some cards changed. I believe that the Orange Crush Kings and Queens of the Movies set contains the exact same cards as this set, though not all updated cards have been seen yet with both American Caramel and Orange Crush backs. The font used on the front of the updated cards is a serif font, while standard E124 cards use a sans serif font. The backs for this set contain the exact same text as the E124 back that shows Lancaster, Pa. only, but the top paragraph of text for the E124 back is in bold text while the top paragraph of text for this set is in plain text.
Note that the Orange Crush set also contains updated cards of #38 Constance Talmade in "Learning to Love" and #96 Kathleen Clifford in "Grandpa's Girl," which can probably also be found with American Caramel backs, though they have not been confirmed yet. It is possible there could be additional updated cards as well. The checklist below shows only those cards that were updated for the 1924 set, since the others match the E124 set.
Date info: The film "The Perfect Flapper" was released in 1924, so I'm putting a 1924 date on this set. It is possible the date could be off a little.
26. Colleen Moore in "The Perfect Flapper"
107. Virginia Valli in "Stairway to Hope"
118. Strongheart in "Strongheart"
