This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/23/2019

The Pulver Gum company of Rochester, NY issued an interesting set in 1935 called Pulver pictures. The tagline on the back of "the greatest assortment of picture cards ever compiled" might have been a little braggadocios but it was an interesting choice of subjects for 1930's children's gum cards. The cards picture war and battle and generally focus on the weapons that were used in these battles. In the gun department, there are cards for hand guns, machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, Gatling guns and an ancient french mortar. There's even a card for short barrel gun on camel (#110). In the older weapon category, cards for the blunderbuss, antique cross bows, boomerang, trebouchet and broad swords exist. The cards have colorful fronts picturing soldiers, policemen and other combatants using the weapons described on the backs. The cards are numbered 100-129.

This is an above average condition set that has higher grade and lower grade and runs from Fair condition to EX condition and all between. The breakdown is as follows: VGEX to EX condition (18 cards), GVG to VG condition (4 cards) and Fair to Good condition (8 cards). With a few upgrades, this set could be clean and blemish free.
