E-UNC Schonwasser TOUGH Movie Stars Lot of (11) Cards

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 6/26/2022

The E281 Schonwasser set is somewhat of an enigma in that little is known about it. The ACC notes that the cards are like "T85" cards in that most are bathing beauties. There is a one to two letter code on the back of each card and an offer to get larger sized photos based on those codes. The cards were originally issued in brown envelopes which are included in this lot as well. It is believed that the cards were issued sometime in the 1910's to early 1920's. The card backs state that 200 cards were issued and, to date, over 100 unique card identifying codes on the back have been cataloged. It is believed that the movie star cards issued by Schonwasser are actually a part of the overall set as the codes found on the back of those cards fit in line with the codes on the back of the bathing beauties cards.

This lot of (11) E-UNC/E281 Schonwasser cards are movie stars and include the following subjects: Ruth Roand, Warren Kerrigan, Bert Lytell, Clara K. Young, Mae Marsh, Henry B. Walthal, Mae Allison, Betty Compson, Pauline Fredericks, Virginia L Corbin and Colleen Moore. The cards are in Fair to Good condition but very scarce.
