Anglo-American Chewing Gum - Men of Progress


1958
Men of Progress
Anglo-American Chewing Gum
48 wrappers (1 football)

There's one football-related wrapper - no. 16 features John Logie Baird and includes a scene from a football match.
UPDATE (08-06-2023 16:23):  If collectors sent away a full set of 48 used individual wrappers, Anglo would send the album with a pristine, uncut set in exchange - 16 strips of 3 wrappers, stapled into the original album.
