Country of Issue: USA
Year of Issue: 1920s
Color/B&W: Unicolor
Number of Cards in Set:
Card Size: 1 11/16" x 2 3/4"
Issued as insert with what product: Issued in strips by themselves with no other product. Cards are usually found cut apart.

Notes: Checklist probably incomplete. Blank-backed. Cards were issued in top-to-bottom strips of 8 cards. The cards from this set were issued in many different colors. Individual cards can be found in multiple colors. Captions are located in a box with the name of the star and studio listed. Although I have seen uncut strips of these, including those pictured on this site, I have also gotten some of these that appear to be machine cut. There were a lot of cowboys in this set, at least 13 different cards of Tom Mix alone. There are over 140 different cards in this set, making it perhaps the biggest strip card set.

Thanks to Dan Calandriello for providing many of the scans for this set.
