Description

Presented is an attractive complete 48-card set of the R78 "Jungle Gum" series issued by World Wide Gum Co. circa 1934. Each card pictures a beautiful scene of African wildlife. Condition is 14% Vg-Ex or slightly better, 50% Gd to Vg, and 36% Pr to Fr (including a Pr-Fr example of #1 "Giraffe" and one trimmed). The set is accompanied by a rare original wax wrapper in Very Good condition. Though the backs state that the set is composed of 192 cards, only 48 cards were ever produced. The first series of twenty-four cards are numbered 1-24; the second series of twenty-four cards were skip numbered between 25 and 71 (no doubt causing great confusion among kids collecting the set when issued). This is a rarely offered complete set of this popular nonsport issue. Total: 48 cards plus wrapper.
