Crescent Confectionery (1926) - Footballers - 8th Series of 10 (2)


1927-28
Footballers - 8th Series of 10
Crescent Confectionery
10 cards

As the title suggests there were 10 different series, each of 10 cards. Series 8 was football, series 9 was cricket. I don't know what the other series were, anyone know? All the cards have plain backs.
The football series consists of the following cards, I'm still trying too find out which player features on card no. 4.
UPDATE (09-10-2023 17:03):  Date amended to 1927-28. Read Carl Wilkes' amazing biography of this company here - The Crescent Confectionery Co. Ltd.
