Auction #4 - January 2020

The Dixie Lid company issued small round lids that were the lids to ice cream cups back in the 1930's to 1950's. The lids are a very collectible item and from the sets of lids, they also issued premiums for purchasing their goods. The premium sets from most years mirror the small round lids sets in the subjects but with much more beautiful artwork. The premium sets are 8" by 10" in size. The fronts of the premiums identify the subject with the backs typically having a nice medium sized narrative about the pictured subject.
The set in this lot is the complete set of 1939 Premiums numbering (24) individual stars and a front and back cover. Condition on these premiums is generally lower with stress or tearing at the holes on the left borders. Still a fantastic set of cards rarely seen in complete set form.
