Crescent Confectionery - CRE-080/CRM-1 Footballers


1923-24
CRE-080/CRM-1 Footballers
Crescent Confectionery
100

Jim, from Facebook page The Unofficial Liverpool Football Club Museum, has contacted me...
I collect Liverpool players pre and post their time with the club as well as when with obviously. I recently acquired this card and cannot see reference to an unnumbered series in your pieces on Crescent. Thought I would ask if you know any more about it?
Kind Regards, Jim
It is one of a collection of 100 very rare unnumbered cards, issued around 1925.
UPDATE (09-10-2023 16:57):  Date amended to 1923-24. Read Carl Wilkes' amazing biography of this company here - The Crescent Confectionery Co. Ltd.
