Phenomenal dual image lot of (57) Western Exhibit cards. These cards were issued in 1929 and picture "spaghetti" Western stars of the day such as Buck Jones, Tom Mix and many others. The cards have a coupon on the back in the top center that has often been removed by cutting diagonally on the top center of the card as is the case in a few of the cards in this lot. The fronts of the cards are colored in Red, White or Blue background colors with round photos of the stars and printing in black tone on the front. The backs are plain other than the coupon. There are other 1929's that have horseshoe-ringed photos with divided postcard-backs and coupon in the upper right corner on the back. This lot has a mixture of both types.
This lot of (57) includes (45) round photo exhibits in the red, white and blue format. (18) White background (one coupon removed), (18) Red background (2 coupons removed) AND (9) Blue background (no coupons removed). In addition to the round photo cards, there are (12) Horseshoe shaped exhibit cards with upper left coupons removed, divided back postcards in multi-color formats. Without regard to the removed coupons, the cards are all in generally nice condition, averaging mostly VG to EXMT.
