Background
This is the second of two series of Airplane Cards issued by the Pechuer Lozenge Co. (Peco), Brooklyn, N.Y., prior to America’s entry into World War II. The Peco Airplane Pictures, Type 2 package design cards were incorporated into Peco Candy Cigarettes boxes. The color images in this second set (R8-2) feature a new crop (circa 1940-41) of United States military aircraft. The original set (R8-1) featured a wide mix of United States aircraft from the 1930’s. The fronts of the cards contain the card number, title, and a short descriptive text in a tilted red rectangle title box on the left side of the card. A patent line with Package Pat. No. 2179376 is located at the top-right corner of the card. The two side flaps help form the packet, in which 4-four candy cigarettes were placed. These cards, of course, have a premium value over the cards with the side flaps removed. Collectors have the following 3 options when collecting this set: (1) Cards without side flaps, (2) Cards with side flaps, and (3) the complete shrink-wrapped Peco Candy Cigarettes pack with the 4 sticks of candy cigarettes included. The reference card dimensions of 1 5⁄16 × 2 13⁄16 inches inches do not include the side flaps. The backs of the cards were blank. The American Card Catalog reference number is R8-2.
