Unknown - Football Club Shields


1930s
Football Club Shields
Unknown issuer
Unknown number

These Football Club Shields seem to date from the 1930s, but I don't know anything about them. Some of the images aren't very good and a couple are only greyscale photocopies, but the cards are extremely rare and I am happy to use any photos I can find. Please get in touch if you have any information, and I'm always interested in adding illustrations of other cards to my database. So far there are eight different designs known.
The scan of the Huddersfield Town card is provided by Roger Pashby. Graham Bruton has provided scans of the two Manchester United cards. The first one has an image of a face in the bottom right quadrant, Graham has studied it and believes it to be George Vose, who joined Manchester United in August 1932 and stayed at the club until he moved to Runcorn in 1946.
The cards are unnumbered and are number here for reference purposes only.
UPDATE (04-04-2022 12:00):  I did have four different posts relating to this collection but I have decided to do a little housekeeping by combining all the scans into this one post, which will be updated whenever new information is received.
