1930s ITALY COSTUME Stolzenbachs USA Bread CARD Cut out TOY D122 UnCut SCARCE

Description: This fantastic card is one in a series of 24 cards issued in the United States as an insert premium with the stolzenbachs BREAD BRANDS. The series is entitled “CUT-OUT DOLLS” and is listed as series D122 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue. I have not been able to find a published date for this series in any guide, but I have always speculated that they were issued in the 1930's era (based on known issue dates for similar series’) The Front of the card features a cut out doll that features a child dressed in the tradition outfit of the featured country or culture, with the illustration being done by L.S. Evans (as noted by copyright on the card). This card features ITALY. The back of the card features advertising for THE Bread, as well as instructing the child to “cut me out and play with me”. This set of instruction provides the explanation as to why this series is so scarce. Most kids would have probably cut-out and played with the stand up paper doll as instructed by the card. Because of this I imagine that not many have surived intact over the years. The back also indicates that a different card each day would be included with each loaf. The Card measures 5 inches by 3 inches approximately. The card does have some areas of discoloration, but is free from creasing. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. 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.
