This
fantastic weekly bulletin was
issued by the Colonial Baking
Company Baking Co. in the United States as an
advertising premium for their bread and
other baked goods. The back of the bulletin features a card
featuring different breeds of Dogs. I have
not been able to find this series listed
in any reference guide including Burdick’s American Card Catalogue. This series was issued
in similar manner to the D2 American
Airplanes or the D6 American Indian
Chiefs Series and other similar series issued
by such companies as Krugs and others. The cards were issued
in a weekly pamphlet or bulletin form, usually printed
on the back page. These series were also
usually issued
in conjunction with an album that the child could keep the cards in once they
had been cut out from the pamphlet (although none are mentioned in this
Bulletin). In this case the inner pages
feature advertising for specials at the bakery and also lists a recipe as
well. The attraction to non-sports card
collectors is the back page which features a card from their Dog Breeds series.
The there is a handsome black and white photographic image of the featured dog breed and a brief
written description of the breed as well.
Unfortunately the bulliten does not mention how many different breed
there are in the complete series. In this case the DOG featured is the ENGLISH SETTER . The
pamphlet measures 6 ½ inches by just
under 3 5/8 inches approximately. The
bulletin is free major creases or tears, and is fully intact. I think it displays nicely. I have scanned
the front cover and the back pages fully open, fairly
large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself Because I believe that this series was
intend to be cut out and collected,
and that it is printed on thin paper
stock, I imagine that not many survived fully intact and in nice collectable condition. This is a scarce series.
I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
