The R196 United Confectioners Supply set is a set comprised primarily of gum packages and wrappers. The wrappers can be found in five different colors--blue, green, orange, red and yellow. Non-Sport.com catalogs (32) subjects The wrappers picture a movie star in a sepia tone set against the stark background color with movie film at the top and bottom of the wrapper. The sticks of gum were included in an outer wrapper which appears to be the same as the inner stick wrapper but just cut a slight bit longer. The outer wrappers appear to have a different group of subjects than do the inner stick wrappers. In all the packs we have seen one of the sticks of gum has the wrapper glued into the outer wrapper, so it is difficult to separate them without damaging them. The sticks and wrappers are rarely found and are missing from many different type card collections. It is unknown but assumed that all subjects come in all colors.
The outer wrapper pictures Ed Brendel in blue. The inner pieces that are unattached to the wrapper include Richard Barthelmess in green and orange and Anita Page in blue. and Richard Dix in green The sticks and outer wrapper are all in EXMT to NRMT condition and very nice.
