Background
This is the first of two series of Peco Airplane Pictures
that Pechuer Lozenge Company (Peco) issued during the 1937 timeframe. These package design cards were incorporated into the Peco Candy Cigarettes boxes. Each of the cards formed part of the tray holding the candy cigarettes and had machined perforations on two sides for easy removal of the advertising flaps. The color artwork of the aircraft drawings were simplistic. The image area of the card included two bylines: (1) A patent notation Package Pat. No. 2179376,
and (2) a notation This is one of 28 different PECO Airplane Pictures
.
The card number, title, and basic engine details are printed in a blue panel at the base of the card. The backs of the cards are blank. This particular set may be collected either with or without the advertising side flaps. With the side flaps is more desirable, but the cards are much more difficult to acquire. The reference card dimensions of 1 5⁄16 × 2 13⁄16 inches do not include the side flaps. The American Card Catalog number is R8-1.
