Helmar Stamps |

| Description: |
A collectible departure from the traditional tobacco
cards of the period, Helmar Cigarettes in 1911 issued a series of
small major league baseball player "stamps". The stamps,
each measuring approximately 1-1/8" X 1-3/8", feature
a black and white player portrait surrounded by a colorful, ornate
frame. The stamps were originally issued in a 2" X 2-1/2"
glassine envelope, which advertised the Helmar brand and promoted
"Philately - the Popular European Rage." To date, 181
different player stamps have been found. The set includes as many
as 50 different frame designs. |
