About the 1930's Aguila Chocolate Trading Cards
These cards, likely a premium issue, are from an early to mid-1930's set issued out of Uruguay by Aguila, a chocolate company.
Issued on more of a thick paper stock than a card stock, glossy front.
Larger than a standard card measuring approximately 3-3/16" X 4-1/2".
Card number and star's name on front of card with studio logo in photo area.
Back has design with eagle in circle (As a helpful bi-lingual customer has pointed out, Aguila means eagle in Spanish), the only text being "Indresora Uruguaya S.A."
Issued with an album containing spaces for 6 cards per page. Cards held in place by each of the four corners sliding into a predefined space. Most of those I've seen have a light diagonal surface indent/impression near each of the corners from being removed from this album.
Both front and backs come in color variations. Most of those I saw here had gray backs, but there were also some brown and blue backed cards. Most of the fronts shown on these pages were issued in a brown tone, but there are also some green toned and color-tinted cards mixed in.

Really a great variety of stars selected for this set as nobody is duplicated and the vast majority of players are from primarily American films. Thus we get to see a lot of second leads and character actors who normally don't pop up in old card issues. Names like Dudley Digges, Grant Mitchell, and Helen Trenholme are examples which I can't recall having handled in any other set issues.
