Description: This scarce card is one in a series of 43 cards issued in Canada by the WILLARDS Chocolates Limited Company of Toronto. One was inserted into each package of WILLARD’S Chocolates. They are listed as series V101 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “Indian Series ”. Although no guide that I know of provides an actual date of issued I have always assumed that it is some time around the late 1920’s era. Each card features a colorful image representing an aspect of Traditional Native American Indian Life. The back states that there are 43 cards in the series and gives a brief summary of the features aspect of Native life featured, done in both English and French Languages This card number 40 in the series, and is titled Basket & Bead Work. The Card measures 2 11/16 inches by 1 3/8 inches approximately. The card does have some corner & edge wear, but is free from major creasing I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. and are scarce. Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than card issued in the US) I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
