After you find all the 40's,50's and 60's "food" channel cards then you have to find the "people" channel cards. These are much harder to find. Sorry about the bad pictures but they are all framed and it's hard to take pictures through glass.
Bringing it up yet another notch!! Very nice.
Very cool are they US or Can?
what year are they from too
These are U.S. cards. The first one is from 1952 and the others are fron 1957. There are a few others that I haven't been able to find yet.
These are beauties. I always think of Canadian signs as having different trademark detail info. I have a couple-three Canadian signs printed "Trade Mark Reg." under the logo. Spriteboy, Is this generally true, any tips on whether there are easy ways to tell the diff between U.S. and Can. signs, and whether it matters as far as value or collectibility? I've always wondered!
Yes , thats right Daddy_Nobucks. Trade Mark Reg. is Canadian. So is anything marked Coca-Cola Ltd. These cards are marked " Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." They also say"Litho in USA" in bottom left hand corner. Generally I don't think U.S. versus Canadian makes a difference in value or collectability. There are a lot of nice pieces that came out in Canada that are very nice and valuable but it's because of the artwork ,not where it's from. I personally try to find as many Canadian pieces as I can just because I am Canadian and they are harder to find. I'll post some of these pieces next.
Good stuff, thanks for the info.
I was kind of hoping your channel cards were canadain, only because it makes them abit easier for us to find, to find out their US and Ray has never seen them makes me think i will not be getting myself one anytime soon. Very glad you showed them, excited to see some more rare items from your collection!
