This scarce cardis one in a series of cards issued in Canada bythe Cowan Confectionery Company of Stirling Road Toronto Ontario Canada.One was insertedinto each package of their Cowan’s Chocolate . They are listedas series V5 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “Badges and Battle Colors”. Burdick, in the ACC mistakenly list theseries as being complete at 24. AlthoughI do not know how many are in a complete series I have personally seen 45different. Although no guide that I am aware of gives adefinite date of issue for this series it is generally assumed to have been in the 1920’s era possible earlier. Thefront of each card features a colorful image ofThe cap Badge and Battle Color of a particular regiment of the CanadianMilitary Corps. The back givesdescription of the Canadian Cop. Being featuredon the front. TheCard measures 5 ¼ inches by 2 1/4 inches approximately. Thecard does have some creasing. I havescanned the front and back of thecard fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESECARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S. and are extremely rare. Due to the lower population in Canada than inthe US, print runs in Canada were muchsmaller compared with AmericanCards. Because of this the majority ofall Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than card issued in the USA & UK.
