1920s CIRCUS Parade CARD Die Cut D40 Great AMERICAN CIRCUS TOY Renz BREAD

Description: This fantastic card is one in a series of 24 cards issued in the United States. One was wrapped with each loaf of Renz’s Bread The series is entitled “GREAT AMERICAN CIRCUS” and is listed as series D40 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue. The front of the card features a copyright with the Illustrators name L.S. Evans. I an unsure of an exact date of issue. However Renz issues another series of die cut cards (D54 Mother Goose Series) similar to this by L.S. Evans as well that features a copyright date of 1922 on the front of those cards. I have always assumed that this series was issued around that year as well. The Front of the card features a colorful image of a certain aspect of a Circus. This CARD FEATURES THE CIRCUS PARADE. The cards have been die cut so that you could fold the card into a stand up figure like many of the early advertising Paper toys Dolls. The back provides information about the series and advertising for RENZ Bread. Because it was designed as a die cut toy, I imagine that not many remained intact over the years. Most probably fell apart as children played with them, and then they were discarded. The Card measures 5 inches by 3 inches approximately. The card does have some edge wear, and has been popped out at somepoint. It is free from creases except the factory fold over line. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself . This is a scarce series that is coveted by Circus Collectors as well as Card collectors. Great cross over appeal. I will be trying to list several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes , Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate, Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf, Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities, Dog Breeds, Circus themes and many more.
