Auction #13 - February 2023

The General Baking Company issued the D4 series likely in the 1950's as bottom trays for packages of donuts or cookies. The cards picture simple drawings of various animals, ships or aircraft. The cards are tough to find in nice shape as the food soiled the card backs. The cards from the D4 series are lettered "A", "B" or "C".
The D7 Series of cards were apparently issued by the Bond Bread company using the cards as bottom stiffeners for packages of donuts. Like the companion D4 series of cards from General Baking, the D7 series feature basic drawings of Transport, Animals, Flags, Ships and Uniforms. The D7 cards measure 5 5/8" W by 1 7/8" H .
This lot of (10) D4/D7 cards includes (6) D7 cards and (4) D4 cards. The cards are in VG to VGEX condition with the normal donut stains on the blank side of the cards. Great lot for the set builder of these tough sets.
