Anyone, please identify this 1949 BOWMAN wrapper ?

[tedzan]

I am surprised that no one has suggested that the GREEN-WHITE-ORANGE wrapper was possibly designed for the 1949 PCL cards.

There was a find that revealed that these PCL cards were indeed marketed in packs (on a limited basis) in the Northwest in 1949.
Perhaps, this would explain why this wrapper is very rare. However, I have yet to seen verifiable evidence to prove that this is a
PCL wrapper.

green white orange matches the 49 bowman display box
white red blue is undated 50 bowman, its identical to the dated variety

My RED-WHITE-BLUE wrapper is definitely a 1949 wrapper.

I'm not certain I understand your......"white red blue is undated 50 bowman" ?

Having collected "tons" of 1950 Bowman cards as a kid in 1950, I do not recall seeing any wrappers that year that were "undated".
All these wrappers were dated "1950" as shown in my scan here.

this scan is the dated 1 cent 50 bowman
top scan is the 5 cent undated 50 bowman
perhaps in your candy store they only sold the 1 cent packs
here is the 49 box orange green and white

and the 50 box red white and blue undated

Ted is correct - his red, white and blue wrapper is from '49, not '50.

[sflayank]

so the fact the it matches the dated wrapper and the box perfectly means nothing?
the green orange and white are 49s.....they didnt change color midstream
red white and blue are 50s
