1940s Marine Bubble Gum - World Wide Gum Co., Ltd. |
These cards are from a series of 120 cards issued in Canada by the World Wide Gum Co, Ltd.
of Granby Quebec Canada in packs of their Marine Bubble Gum. No Guide that I am aware of has
this series listed, and I have never found reference to an actual date of issue. I assume that
they were issued in the late 1930s or 1940s as the subjects seem to mostly World War 2 Naval
Ships or earlier. The card front feature a blue toned photographic image of a ship from the
Royal Navy (both Canadian and British ships) with the information about the ship written in
both French and English printed on the front. The front also indicates that their were to be
150 cards in the series. However no numbers higher that 120 have ever been reported
(if you do have a card number higher than 120 please email me and let me know I would be
interested in seeing it, for my references). These cards were issued with blank backs.
These cards measure 3 1/4 inches by 2 5/8 inches.
