1940s WW2 FIGHTER PLANES Card FC17 Rare SARATOGA Potato Chips CANADIAN :
$19.84

This rare card is one in a series of 32 cards issued in Canada bythe SARATOGA PRODUCTS COMPANY of Toronto Ontario Canada. One was insertedinto each package of their GOLDEN SARATOGAPOTATO CHIPS. Although no guidethat I know of lists them or provides anactual date of issue, because of thestyle of the Aviation Planes features on it, and the fact that most of thedescriptions on the backs of the cards from this series mention Action versusGerman Planes, I have assumed thatthey were issued around the WorldWar 2 Era. The front of the card features a black andwhite image of either a Canadian British or U.S.A. Fighter, Trainer orReconnaissance Airplane, while the back features a fairly lengthy descriptionof the subject, with advertising for the Saratoga product. This card is number 25 in the series and features a Boulton-Paul Defiant Fighter . The Cardmeasures 3 5/16 inches by 2 7/16 inchesapproximately. The card is free from creases with only theslightest bit of corner wear. I havescanned the front and back of thecard fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S.and are extremely rare. Due tothe lower population in Canada than in the US,print runs in Canada were much smaller comparedwith American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sportscards are far scarcer than card issuedin the USA and UK
