Strip cards were issued from the 1910's through 1930's and it is believed, in most cases, as point-of-sale pieces for dime store giveaways with candy purchases. While there is no hard evidence of such, it is usually assumed this was the method of distribution. Earlier strip cards seemed to be smaller sized--akin to the tobacco cards of 19th and early 20th century. The W589 Presidents Strip card set is one of those sets that was likely issued in the 1920's at some point. While it says "Presidents" in the ACC, this strip has (9) presidents and General John J. Pershing.
This uncut strip of (10) W589-1 U.S. Presidents cards are clean for the most part but the last two cards on the strip to the right--Coolidge and Pershing has some paper loss on the front and the left side of the strip has some water staining--primarily seen from the back of the strip.
