I cobbled together a list of known titles from the recent REA & Benjamin. Can anyone add to the list? Couple questions: has anyone seen a 5 cent wrapper actor duplicated on a 1 cent wrapper, or were the actors completely different? I can only find 1 actor in all 5 colors from the 5 cent ---can anyone show the same for a 1 cent?

Those are really cool Don!

I wanted to bid on them in the REA auction but am broke. Anyway, did you win them from the auction? (or anyone else out there) I'd love a few as types.

Also, your checklist states a "Tom Wells" and you show a "Ted Wells" are these the same?

Don, do the 5 cent packs contain 5 1 cent wrappers with the stars on them (total of 6 star wrappers per 5 cent pack)?

Todd----yes, it is TED & not Tom---just a typo on my part & will correct---may be many more typos in there if anyone notices---

scan shows the bottom of a 5 cent pack & yes, it contains 5 individual wrappers--you can just appreciate the colors sticking out from the bottom of this 5 cent pack---(obviously, the 5 cent wrapper must be longer than the inner 1 cent wrappers---that's one reason I wondered if any given star was pictured in both formats, or if it was another ploy to sell the 5 cent packs to get a different star pic)

I suspect building a master color set must have been a challenge 70 yrs ago, prob. not possible today (unless more wharehouses come thru for us!). Also interesting that both REA lots each had only 3 different 5 cent stars, & they were the same three.

...since I love movie star collectibles,
I'm willing to code a R196 webpage in whatever
fashion the REA winner(s) would like....
(with or without credits)

If not, I'll muddle through a R196 web page
using REA pictures and whatever posted images
might surface.

Dan---when I get a little more organized I'll post what images I can

Dan---here's couple more---I'm still intrigued by the possibility that the large 5c wrappers may show different stars than the smaller 1c wrappers, (2 subsets of Radio Gum?), but the number of samples I have is so small I can't really make any conclusions. Perhaps those collectors who specialize in Movie Stars, or the winner(s) of the other REA Radio box can help?

Dan---few more old time stars---
