This scarce card is one in a series of 40 transfers
issued in Canada bythe SALADA FOODS LTD of Toronto and Montreal Canada
Limited. One was inserted
into each package of their Salada Tea and other products.I have not been able to find this series listed in any guide that I am aware of, nor have I been
able to find a definitive date of issue.However I speculate that is was more than likely some time in the 1960’s
era.The front of each card features an image of a
particular Antique Car.The back gives a brief description on how to
use the transfer and indicates that they were made by the Canada Decalcomania Co. Ltd. .It also features writing in both English and French. This
card features a OM 15/60 1925 The Card measures 2 inches by 1 3/4 inches approximately.This
card is still sealed in it’s
original cello wrapper.That alone makes this a scarce example Because
these cards are in fact decals not many have probably survived.Like
stickers these were probably stuck down or transferred
by the kids and destroyed.They are tough to come by in any format let
alone STILL SEALED IN CELLO. The Cello has yellowed slightly over the
years.All cello does yellow or darken
over time.I have scanned
the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition
for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER
ISSUED IN THEU.S.and are fairly scarce.Due to the lower population in Canada
than in the US,print runs in Canada
were much smaller compared with
American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards
are far scarcer than card issued in
the US.
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. To view the other cards I have up on ebay please

will take you directly to them.
Due to my work schedule and distance to the
post office I am only able to ship Monday Mornings. If I haven’t received payment
for an item by Sunday evening, the item will have to wait until the
next Monday to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable.
If this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid
or buy. Thanks again.
This will be mailed from the USA.
For USA purchases I Can combine
shipping.Please message me for details.
