The R8-2 Peco Candy Cigarettes set is a (28) card set that were box designs on small boxes of candy cigarettes. At a time when smoking was not quite the pariah that it is today, kids bought candy cigarettes in the dime stores of the 1930's-1980's. Pecheur Lozenge company of Brooklyn, NY was a company that made these candy cigarettes and printed cards on the boxes as a way to get kids to buy more of the candy. The R8-2 is a set of small airplane cards which were part of the box. The cards are perforated and easily punched from the box.
This lot of (12) cards from the R8-2 Peco Candies Airplane Pictures set are in VGEX condition and includes the following subjects: 4, 17(2), 18, 20, 21, 22, 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28.
