A wonderful three volume set of small 1" x 2" movie star cards that were given out with packages of Chocolate. Although not dated I would place the cards from the mid to late 1920's. In all there are 299 cards with one card (Bessie Love) missing. The cards are of all the major Hollywood stars along with German and Belgium? stars. The albums themselves measure 11 1/2" x 7 3/4" and each one is bound with cords. The pages have nice top and bottom borders of yellow and green with the words "Chocolade Filmstar De Beukelaer" on the top and bottom of the pages. All three albums are in fine condition.
