Item Description
Complete set of five 8x10" pictures on card stock w/choice art. ACC# R83-2. ©1938. Not only were these issued prior the the 1940 Gum Inc. card set, they feature art that was not reproduced on any of those cards. Pictures are: #1 Tonto Saves The Lone Ranger (variety w/mask overprint on LR), #2 The LR Licks Lester, #3 The LR Rescues Joan At The Pit, #4 Tonto Fights Off The Troopers, #5 The LR Foils A Murder. All are text back varieties that include info pertaining to that particular picture scene, list of all five titles and information on how these were obtained. The pictures were available in different configurations, from individually for five wrappers and 3¢, up to a complete set of five for 25 wrappers and 10¢. Trace of corner tip wear and lt. aging to backs. Set remains totally bright and clean. NM to NM/MT. Rarely found as a set and in this condition. Also included is the rarely seen retailer's mailing envelope. Includes image of LR on Silver holding one of these pictures. This is the env. that was used to send the pictures once they were ordered, but this has overprint text expressly for retailer's noting that the pictures could now be ordered directly from Gum Inc. and then sold to their customers rather than having them send away for them. Obvious margin wear and tears at flap. VG. A very desirable set.
