I don't THINK we have a webpage for this set.

Chris Benjamin's white guide, page 382 says
anonymous issue, 36 cards, gives appearance
of being a strip card set, but is machine cut.
He also mentions the set contains Missles,
taking it OUT of the 1940-41 area and placing
it in the late 40s/early 50s area. Chris noted
that Ron Wilson helped fill out the checklist.

I tried hard to find the set in Watson's Bible,
but I couldn't.

Benjamin checklists 34 of the 36 cards,
leaving a blank area for #108 and #129.

I personally have just 25 cards. I do have
the 108 and 129. Sadly, no dupes.

Can ANYONE help on this ? anything ?

Greetings. Using some post-Turkey Day free time to peruse the site. This set actually does exist in the NSB (pg 800), although it can be tough to find due to the lack of identifying characteristics on the cards (I've inserted a few references to make it easier to find the title which appeared on the original packaging...Terry Duvall sold a set of these awhile back). The listing below represents the most up-to-date version which will be used in future editions.

TRADING CARDS - NAVY SHIPS -
AIRPLANES

50s - (A. J. Wildman & Son), 57 x 86 mm
U.S.A., 36 numbered cards

These cards were issued on nine non-perforated 4-card panels, but are most commonly found in their divided form of single cards which appear to have been machine-cut and often contain a thin border of an adjacent card (suggesting that cards may have been originally issued in both forms). The manufacturer, A.J. Wildman & Son of New York, can only be identified from a paper insert which was apparently included with the card panels in a cellophane pack. This paper insert also identifies the set title Trading Cards Navy Ships - Airplanes, although previous guides have listed it simply as Ships & Planes. Each 4-card panel measures 114 x 171 mm. (ACC# W673)

PANEL CHECKLIST:
(1) 101, 102, 107, 108
(2) 103, 104, 109, 110
(3) 105, 106, 111, 112
(4) 113, 114, 119, 120
(5) 115, 116, 121, 122
(6) 117, 118, 123, 124
(7) 125, 126, 131, 132
(8) 127, 128, 133, 134
(9) 129, 130, 135, 136



Description EX condition
Single card $ 2.00
#101 - Martin XB-51 $ 5.00

Set (36 single cards) $ 85.00

1. Cards separated from panels (i.e. single cards) can be considered to be in NM condition since it apppears that this may represent one of the original issue methods.
2. Single cards in EX/NM and NM condition may command up to 1.5 & 2.5x the above values.
3. Panels (four intact cards in original format) may command up to 1.33, 2.0 & 3.0x the sum of above values of individual cards, respectively.

P.S. - I'll try to be more active on the site...migh take me awhile to catch up.

great stuff...I just KNEW I had missed it.
