The date of issue for this rare Canadian issue
is conjectural. These black-and-white 1-5/8" X 2-3/8"
cards were issued by the Purity Ice Cream Company in Canada and
were redeemable as a set of 21 for a brick of "Delicious
Honey Boy Ice Cream". Besides the major leaguers in the set,
there are also cards of other players, perhaps local semi-pros.
The major leaguers are not identified by team, nor do their photos
have team insignias present. When redeemed, cards were punch-cancelled.
The spectacular example above, picturing Tiger great Harry Heilmann,
is the highest graded copy in existence - graded EX by SGC.
