1920 Famous Trains Card Calais Mediterranee Express V48 Lowney Chocolates #3

Description: This Scarce card is one in a series of 35 cards issued in Canada by the Walter M. Lowney Confectionery Company. One was inserted into each package of Lowney Chocolates. They are listed as V48 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “Famous Trains ”. Each card features an image of an actual famous train from around the world. Their are 5 different trains in the series including the Twentieth Century of the New York Central Railway, and the Calais Mediterranee Express in Paris Each train has seven cars, including an engine for each one. The back provides information about the train featured on the front, and explains how you could exchange a complete set of 35 of these card for a box of Chocolates (making these cards even harder to find as many were probably sent back to the company for the chocolate). This card is number 3 from the CALAIS-MEDITERRANEE EXPRESS (AKA The Blue Train). The Card measures 3 7/16 inches by 1 1/8 inches approximately. The card does have some creasing wear. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. or UK Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US and UK, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American and British Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the US). I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
