The R197 Blatz Gum Screen Stars set was issued in 1920 and could technically be part of the "E" classification. The "R" classification typically begins around 1930 or so. The set are slightly oversized at 3-1/2" by 5-1/2" and sized about the size of an exhibit card. There are (20) cards in the set and a companion string-bound album was issued to house the cards. The most famous subject in the book is the card that pictures the cast from "Our Gang". The cards are black and white, printed on very thin paper, and have advertising and a checklist on the back of the card.
This is a companion album with a complete set of the Blatz Gum cards neatly pasted in. Both the album and the associated cards within the album are in VGEX to EXMT condition
