Cameron Sales Warships (R169)
Issued in 1942 by Cameron Sales of Chicago and distributed by mail, this 60-card set featured an attractive color image of a variety of US destroyers, battleships, cruisers and other seafaring military vessels. The reverse includes some detail on each subject, with "C. S. C. Ill" enabling collectors to identify the manufacturer years later. The cards are often found in excellent condition, since they were distributed by mail. Such is the case with this collection, which averages EX/MT, the primary condition flaws related to corner and edge wear due to the thin paper on which the cards were printed. A beautiful, patriotic card set. 60 cards total.
