Description: This rare card is one in a series of 50 cards issued in Canada by the J.S. FRY & SONS Confectionery Company during the year 1926. One was inserted into each package of their Fry’s Chocolate & Cocoa. They are listed as V41 in Burdick’s American Card Catalogue, they are entitled “Treasure Island Map”.

The back provides information as to how a whole set of 50 cards could be exchanged for a “Treasure Chest of Chocolates” . There were actually two different variations of backs to this series. One done in English and an exceptionally rare variation with the back of the card written in French for distribution n the Quebec Market. This is a FRENCH LANGUAGE BACK IS EXCEPTIONALLY RARE!!. This card number 21 in the series. The Card measures 2 5/8 inches by 1 3/8 inches approximately. The card is free from creases. I have scanned the front and back of the card fairly large so you can determine the condition for yourself. THESE CARDS WERE NEVER ISSUED IN THE U.S.A and are scarce. Due to the lower population in Canada than in the US, print runs in Canada were much smaller compared with American Cards. (Because of this the majority of all Canadian non sports cards are far scarcer than cards issued in the USA. 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.
