About these Cards
Issued in 1924 by Teofani & Co., Ltd. out of London.
25 card set is composed entirely of silent film actresses.
The cards shown in the gallery below were issued with Teofani's "Three Star Magnum" brand tobacco. They are one of a few varieties issued (Favourites, Blue Band, Three Star).
Each of the cards shown below measures approximately 1-9/16" X 2-9/16". There is also a larger-sized version of the set.
A matching set was issued by W. Sandorides & Co. with their product that same year. The Sandorides brand cards, issued as both "Cinema Stars" and "Cinema Celebrities" were issued with a variety of their product as well (Big Gun, Lucana, Lucana 66) and also in a larger size.
The dark borders remind this old baseball card collector of the 1971 Topps baseball set. For those familiar with that black-bordered classic, the Teofani (and Sandorides) cards are just as prone to chipping at their edges.
