c. 1915-17 Piqua, Ohio 'Favorite Theatre' Trading Cards
Check our store for availability.
 Judging
by the stars that I picked up from this set, these cards were issued sometime
between 1915 and 1917. These measure 2" X 3-1/2" and have a slightly
textured surface on front with matching text on the reverse of each card (as
shown at left), an ad for Geo. C. Kiefer's records, sheet music and related
stock taking up most of the text. The text at the bottom of the card
advertises the "Favorite Theatre" in Piqua, Ohio. The photos used are in
many cases the same images used in the various
Kromo Gravure sets and sets that I
suspect to have been issued by Kromo Gravure--add these 
to that list, as I believe the likely source of these cards is the Kromo
Gravure Company. Of the two
Clara Kimball Young cards shown at the right,
the first one is from a
1915-16 set of cards believed to be issued
by Kromo Gravure and the second is the "Piqua" card. Same
photograph. Besides Clara Kimball Young, all of the cards from the group
that I had purchased are shown below.
