I enjoy posting and viewing unlisted or obscure non-sports cards.
Have you seen these? They are Transfer Varities from the Philidelphia
Gum Company and are 3-3/4" wide by 4-1/8" to 4-1/2" long.
What do you have?
The First 4 are sets of 4 different transfers cut from a strip.

I only have 3 from this strip, but it is clear that the 4th image is
a deep sea diver.

Only 2 from this series, but 5 different transfers shown. May have 2
transfers per sheet for a set of 8 transfers.

Hi Ken, I am with you on the obscure and hard types. It is so much fun to find stuff that I haven't seen before ,or stuff that I have only seen in catalogs and could wish to find. I have seen so much great stuff here on this board it has helped to broaden my collecting interests. I picked this card up from another board member this past weekend. Had never seen one before, don't know if it is listed anywhere. It was put out by the American Sweets Co. in the Phillipines, it says there are 250 knockout Bubble gum pictures in the set. Also nice transfers,would you consider those to fall under the R154 category?

One of my favotite unlisteds Chuck,
from Zieglers.
This is a candy box with cutouts to show face and name of the movie star.
The Card, postcard sized, slides into place; it has a ribbon attached so it can be removed and replaced by another card.

Are the Fern Chocolates postcards? Or a larger format trade card? Anything on the back? I have some H.D.Foss postcards that look like the RPPC that you posted.

Awesome stuff from everyone. That Leopard diecut is very cool as with all that great E stuff Tom. Jim, love that Loose-Wiles card of the pyramids and sphinx, very cool.

Wonderful stuff....this thread is a type card collectors dream (or nightmare). I'm interested in the strange variety of stuff put out by the Loose-Wiles company. I've been looking for years for something from their sister company, Loose-Morals, but have so far come up empty.

Love the "Girl of the Sea" card Jim. Here are a couple of fun cards. These are listed in ACC under R755 however these are the only two I have ever seen anywhere and wanted to show the magnificent colors on them and the cool theme. They are Campfire Marshmallows-1959.

Hey Ken, the "transfers" you have are very similar to those that were included with the Philadelphia Gum football card series. They are fairly tough to find these days due to their "throw-away" appearance (meaning people probably used them or threw them away after they got them). Here is a wrapper for one of the years of Philly football cards...
What you have there is a card from an issue designated NX5 in the ACC. They were issued with Knock Out Bubblegum around 1937 in the Philippines. If you want to sell or trade it I'm your Huckleberry.

Nothing earth shattering...............would like to see the rest of the set. Would like to HAVE the rest of the set. Only Chu Chu item I've seen on ebay in 4-5 years of searching the term..............
She doesn't look any happier in either one of them......
There is another Chu Chu Popcorn issue in the ACC called State Census Cards (as K132) cataloged as E261. I have never seen one of them.............anyone out there have one?

Picked these up last year and think they might be in the R764 group. Does anyone have any insight into this issue? Card #31 might be from the "Questions & Answers" series but don't know about card #40. Thanks in advance.

Wow, This is some great stuff, I have not seen alot of it. Here is a few more scarce/unlisted things I dug out. Starting with a neat old lithography card for Henry- I call him the "Smoking Chimney Sweep", very cool gilded edges on heavyweight vellum.

1890's A.P. Connolly Civil War Generals, possibly my favorite "set". I know I saw a U.S. Grant with an ad back that was pretty beat, but forgot to bid. I think maybe Tom picked it up?

Hi Jerry I really like your F365 Hoppy box. I had the chance to buy one
years ago.I thought the price was way to high, and it probably was at the
time, but I wish I had.
Flying high ads.

Hey Tom, is there some way to "pin" this thread (or whatever you call it) so that's it's always easy to find? I'd hate for this one to get lost in the shuffle.
