According to the American Card Catalog (ACC), the cards made out of leather were issued in about 1912. At about that time, cigarette card issues were winding down and the tobacco companies were trying other things to lure customers to their brands, including leather, cloth, and felt inserts instead of traditional cardboard inserts. There were two different leather movie star sets issued, the standard rectangular issue and a larger premium issue shaped like an animal hide with a movie star picture in the middle. The ACC number for the rectangular issue is L56 and for the larger premium issue is L8.
For the rectangular set, there are many different border designs, and there have been multiple border designs seen for the same leathers.
Thanks to Bob Richardson and Ian Penistone helping with this checklist.
