Issuing Company: Peerless Country of Issue: USA Year of Issue: 1931 Color/B&W: B&W Number of Cards in Set: 200 Card Size: 1 1/8" x 2 3/8" Issued as insert with what product: Came out of coin-operated weight machines |
Notes: These cards can be identified by the Series B written on the front. On the back, these cards contain a fortune on one side, the name of the issuer on the other, and a space for a weight printout in the middle.
These cards were also issued in Canada by the Canadian Rhodes Mfg. Co. There are at least three versions of the Rhodes cards. It looks like Peerless printed the first version, which is mostly identical to the USA version, with a CAN. RHODES MFG., LTD. line added and Printed in U.S.A. also added. Probably a short time later, Rhodes printed their own versions of the cards, with the card fronts in a more reddish brown tone and the backs showing Printed in Canada with a different Pat. No. of 262,013. The Pat No. 262,013 cards can be found as a generic back and also with an S. S. Kresge overprint on the backs.
Date info: The earliest date seen is from March 21, 1931 in the weight printout, so these cards must have been issued in 1931 or earlier.
