1947 Bond Bread cards
Hello Sally
Fresh out of the Bond Bread packages, the corners of these cards were always Rounded.
Obviously, the cards were printed in square form, then the corners were rounded using die-cut machinery.
There are two versions of the Square cards......
1st......A 2nd printing of the original 48 cards of the Bond Bread issue were available in stores in 1949 - 1950.
These Square cards were sold over-the-counter in packages of 12 cards each.
2nd......Date unknown, 24 of these cards were re-printed (circa 1980, a warehouse find of these cards occurred).
These re-printed cards were produced with inferior cardboard stock and are clearly distinguishable from the above
two original issues by their "cream-colored" backs.
