Notes: Checklist incomplete. This set shows cards of the cast of the Our Gang movies. The cards are not numbered but each contains a letter from the word "Yuengling's", "Neuman's", or "Smith and Clark Co". The writeup on the back says that if you brought a set of cards spelling "Yuengling's" to a Yuengling dealer, "Neuman's" to a Neuman dealer, or "Smith and Clark Co." to a Smith's dealer, you would get a free pint of ice cream. There is almost certainly a short-printed letter in each set, to make it more difficult to collect the prize.
For the Yuengling's set, the letter "S" appears to be the missing letter. All other letters have been seen, including a card with an apostrophe instead of a letter.
For the Neuman's set, the letter "A" and the apostrophe (if there was one) are unknown.
For the Smith's set, all 15 letters have been seen, so it's unknown which letter is the shortprint. The Smith set contains 4 cards not seen yet in either of the other sets.
Thanks to David York, Allan Mellis, Bill Oliver, and Jeff Forteza for helping with this checklist.
