These cards, likely a premium issue, are from an early to mid-1930’s set issued out of Uruguay. Issued on more of a thick paper stock than a card stock, glossy front, most likely issued with a tobacco product. Larger than a standard card measuring approximately 3-3/16″ X 4-1/2″. Card number and star’s name on front of card with studio logo in photo area. Back has design with eagle in circle, the only text being “Indresora Uruguaya S.A.”
Both front and backs come in color variations. Most of those I saw here had gray backs, but there were also some brown and blue backed cards. Most of the fronts shown on these pages were issued in a brown tone, but there are also some green toned and color-tinted cards mixed in.
Really a great variety of stars selected for this set as nobody is duplicated and the vast majority of players are from primarily American films. Thus we get to see a lot of second leads and character actors who normally don’t pop up in old card issues. Names like Dudley Digges, Grant Mitchell, and Helen Trenholme are examples which I can’t recall having handled in any other set issues.
This page is intended to provide you will all of the possible tools required to view, research, collect, and even purchase the cards in this set, as well as the classic film stars included in this set.
