| | | | The pictures show views of all (3) Different Old Peco Candy Cigarettes Premium Airplane Cards in this lot. These cards are not dated but they do bear a 1939 package patent number on them (#2179376). The airplane trading cards are perforated and were once on candy cigarette packages. The candy cigarettes were manufactured by Pecheur Lozenge Company, Inc. of Brooklyn, New York. We do not have a complete candy cigarettes box to show but they may have had familiar brand names on the boxes such as Kool, Lucky Strike, Camel, Raleigh, Pall Mall, and perhaps others. We do not know for sure. There were (28) cards to the complete set. The backs are blank. The fronts each picture a different Navy or Army military aircraft in color. The cards are marked as follows: #2
