Another collection I know almost nothing of. The item on the right is the little packet that the photo came in. I would be glad to hear from anyone who knows anything at all about this little collection. The last 8 items were found listed in a Cartophilic handbook, relating to this collection, so it's probably not all footballers or sportsmen.

I think they are the free gifts given out with the first 8 issues of a short-lived DC Thomson comic called The Vanguard. It was launched in 1923 and I've been trying to find out about the first 8 issues and you may have greatly helped.....thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes, little is known about them though. The first eight issues ran from 13 October, 1923 to December, 1923. I don't think I've ever come across any of those first eight issues.
